Construction Trends in Stoke-on-Trent
Stoke-on-Trent's Hanley Masterplan targets 750 new homes on brownfield city centre sites, alongside the 300 million pound Smithfield mixed-use district, which has already delivered a 730-space car park and attracted Home Office office space. In Bentilee, a scheme on Wellfield Road will bring 117 affordable homes on the former Brookhouse Green Primary School site, backed by more than 31 million pounds of funding, while the former Olympus Engineering factory in Shelton is being cleared for redevelopment. The city's draft Local Plan sets a minimum of 18,960 homes through to 2040. Away from these schemes, established areas keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
