Developers required for Spode site
Developers are being sought for the refurbishment of a former historic pottery site in Stoke-on-Trent. The city council is calling for expressions of interest in the ten-acre Spode site, by 14 February.
The historic former pottery site, owned by the city council, is located next to the town hall and neighbouring 'University Quarter'.
Spode and its buildings are a focus of the 'Stoke Town Masterplan', which is currently being produced by economic developer URBED, with DTZ, Arup and Gehl architects.
The city council is asking developers to send in expressions of interest for developing the site by 14 February, so that proposals can be reviewed alongside the masterplan process.
Councillor Mervin Smith, Stoke-on-Trent City Council cabinet member for city development (regeneration), said: “The former Spode pottery site is an intrinsic part of Stoke Town. At the moment the city council is exploring all the options available for not only the town as a whole but the Spode site as well. It is important that this process is interlinked.”
