Co-op bakery development area

  1. Home
  2. Overview

This site encompasses the former Co-Operative Bakery. This site is perceived as the prime development site in the area as it would have the best views of the restored Burslem Branch Canal and across to the east. This site would benefit from an high quality housing design.

Detailed description

A full planning application for residential development of this site was submitted in April 2021 (ref 65451.) This application was not developed and the Trust understands that the site has since changed ownership, and a different scheme is now being considered.

Stakeholders

Landowner, new residents, visitors to Burslem Port viewing the site from the opposite side of the canal.

Delivery

This is a commercial development, but given its size and proximity to the canal needs to be delivered to a high standard. Successful delivery of this project will greatly enhance public perception of the whole area.
