Construction Trends in Lichfield
A joint Barratt Homes and David Wilson Homes application proposes 500 homes on land north of Hay End Lane in Fradley, including new cricket and football pitches, while a separate Bloor Homes scheme nearby would add up to 230 more. In the city centre, the former Debenhams building is being converted into an Everyman cinema with a new public plaza as part of the Lichfield City Centre Gateway, alongside a proposed Linear Park green corridor linking the station to the centre. The council's housing target has risen sharply under revised national policy, making new sites a growing focus. Away from these schemes, established towns keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
