Wootton Street (NHX)

This site in Waterloo was previously occupied by the Coral Day Nursery. It has now been vacant for several years.

Planning was submitted in January 2021 for 36 homes (19 private sale, 11 social rent and 6 shared ownership) and a new flexible community use on the ground floor. It was subsequently withdrawn due to the impact on adjacent buildings.

A new scheme comprising 24 homes has been designed to address the planning issues and concerns, with positive pre-app feedback received.

What stage is the project in?

The Council has now appointed Vistry Group as the Development Partner for Wootton Street.

The procurement process for a Development Partner started in January 2025.

Once a development partner has been procured, they will be required to secure a satisfactory planning permission before the site can be developed.
