South Staffordshire District Council's Planning Committee unanimously approved Advantage West Midlands’ application to vary the current planning consent for the flagship i54 development site. The Planning Committee decision follows on from Wolverhampton City Council’s approval of the application in January 2010.
The approval will enable the development of up to 50,000 sq ms as part of the first phase. In the current commercial market it is felt this will make i54 more attractive to developers, investors and tenants, offering opportunities of sufficient size to companies wishing to locate on i54.
