DUDLEY people will have a clearer picture of how the town centre will look after a new image was released.

Proposals from Avenbury Developments for a project called Porter’s Field have been under discussion with Dudley Council for 18 months.

The plan, for a site at the Birmingham Street entrance to Churchill precinct which includes redevelopment of the shabby Cavendish House site, features a mix of housing, leisure and retail premises including a supermarket.

John Millar, acting strategic director for economy, environment and housing, said: “We are pleased that one of the key elements of the ongoing regeneration story in Dudley town centre is now falling into place, despite difficult market conditions.

“The proposal on the table from Avenbury, which is subject to normal planning processes, will bring another major boost for the town.”
