This will focus on the former South Staffordshire College Site on Croft Street, with demolition works now underway by Homes England.

Outline planning consent for 123 new homes (including 20% affordable housing) and a care home with up to 80 beds was granted in June 2025. 

Demolition was approved in 2024, with South Staffordshire College relocating to a new facility at St Editha's Square, Tamworth in 2025.

Demolition work, led by Homes England, is now underway and due to complete in summer 2026.

At that point, Vistry will submit a reserved matters planning application.

“This major regeneration scheme will transform a challenging brownfield site into 123 high-quality, well planned mixed tenure new homes alongside a care home of up to 80 beds,” said Dave Bradley, managing director at Vistry North Midlands.

“We share the government’s ambition to deliver homes at pace and scale, and by working closely with Homes England and Tamworth Borough Council we can help create a vibrant, sustainable community that meets local housing needs while bringing investment into the town.”

Jo Nugent, executive director (Midlands) at Homes England, added: “Homes England acquired the college site at Croft Street, Tamworth to part fund the development of the new college campus in Tamworth town centre as well as provide new homes for local people on the Croft Street site.

“The Croft Street site is ideally situated in a residential area opposite the mainline station and close to Tamworth Town Centre to deliver sustainable new homes for all ages including care home provision.

"The progress in repositioning the business gives us confidence in our ability to return to earnings growth and create long-term value for shareholders."
