Major Projects - Darlaston Strategic Development Area

A major strategic site of some 54 developable acres, Darlaston SDA represents one of the West Midlands’ prime regeneration opportunities.

Falling both sides of the M6, its central location and direct link to the very heart of the national motorway network makes it a favourable proposition for major national and international companies looking to establish a regional base.

The creation of serviced sites will not only attract large businesses looking for high quality logistics and distribution hubs but will also support smaller ‘start-up’ businesses.

With substantial investment required to remediate the land, WRC’s strategy is built around a clear focus on delivering solutions, including establishing a close working relationship with the Environment Agency, an approach that is becoming recognised as an innovative model of best practice.

WRC is seeking to create a high quality environment, emphasising the area’s heritage and canal, which will form an early feature of the Black Country Urban Park. Darlaston SDA has the potential to create between 2,500 and 4,500 jobs over two phases.
