You told us you want us to transform Spon End and below is what you said matters most to you:

• You want a safe place to live
• You want our homes to be more modern, warm and energy efficient
• You want a pleasant environment with more quality green spaces
• You want the River Sherbourne to be more accessible
• You want car parking in the area to be improved.

After careful consideration of all the options available we believe undertaking extensive redevelopment of Spon End will enable us to deliver the transformation you told us you want to see.

Our proposed plans include an ambitious £120million redevelopment programme of the below areas which will see us build 750 new homes:

• Kerry House / Milestone House / Trafalgar House

• Spon Gate House

• Grindlay House / Drinkwater House / George Poole House

• Gardner House / Fennel House / Winslow House / Corrie House and Givens House

• Wellington Gardens / Sherbourne Street and Upper Spon Street (85-99).

View our full proposed plans that were presented at our consultation event on 18 May 2022.

We believe our ambitious redevelopment proposals for Spon End will:

• Deliver new, modern, safer homes which are energy efficient
• Create a central green space in middle of the estate
• Improve and open up the River Sherbourne for residents
• Improve connectivity across the estate
• Increase car parking.

On 18 May 2022 we held a consultation event for the community at Coventry Rugby Club, to share our vision and proposed plans for Spon End. It was an opportunity for the community to give their feedback on our initial proposals and to help us shape our plans in more detail.

We’re planning to hold another consultation event at the Rugby Club to share our more detailed proposals for Area 1 (Kerry Milestone and Trafalgar House) in Spring 2024 (date to be confirmed).

We will, in conjunction with the community, develop a Residents Charter. The charter will set out the key objectives, principles, and commitments to the community for the redevelopment of the area, which will include:

• Commitment to consult, engage and involve the local community, stakeholders, schools, and businesses on the development and implementation of the regeneration proposals
• Commitment to establish a Residents and Stakeholders Group
• Commitment to creating a Community Fund to support local projects, employment and training opportunities
• Commitment to a minimum of 30% of the new homes being affordable
• Commitment that residents requiring rehousing will have first choice on moving to the new affordable homes that are built
• Commitment to phasing residential developments to minimise the need for residents to move more than once
• Commitment to the development of rehousing and future purchase options for leaseholders
• Commitment to respecting residents views on the redevelopment proposals

Your feedback on the proposals to transform your area was critical in ensuring that the final proposals developed reflect what you, as a community, would like to see. We asked for your support in order to make your area a place that you, and future generations, are proud to live, prosper and call your home.

The next steps and milestones are:

• Spring 2024 – community consultation event
• Summer/Autumn 2024 – planning application submitted
• 2024/2025 – demolition of Kerry, Milestone and Trafalgar House (Area 1)
• Spring 2025 – new development to start on site in Area 1
• 31 March 2028 – area 1 to be completed
