Welcome
Churchill Living are bringing forward proposals for a new retirement living development at the former Youth Centre at High Street, Kingswinford, West Midlands DY6 8AP.
The former Youth Centre at High Street, Kingswinford has been vacant since it was closed by the Council in 2014. The site comprises the vacant former youth centre building, the surrounding parking and hardstanding, as well as the aging play park and part of the basketball court located to the rear.
Churchill’s vision is to deliver a residential development that is purpose built to meet the needs of over 55s, contributing to the local need for this type of housing, whilst also regenerating a long-term vacant brownfield site. Furthermore, the development will make a significant contribution locally in terms of social, economic and environmental benefits.
The proposals include the relocation of the existing play area, which is coming to the end of its life, to provide a brand-new play park with new modern and inclusive equipment, as well as a new Multi-Use Games Area (MUGA) which is perfect for older children to play. These great new facilities will be provided on the recreation space to the rear of Kingswood Community Centre and will significantly improve the quality of local play provision for children of all ages.
A previous planning application for a Churchill Living development on the opposite side of the road, situated at Hampshire House office building, was withdrawn in August 2023.
This website provides a wide range of information regarding the site and, our plans, plus information about Churchill Living’s retirement communities. You can review this information using the tabs on this website.
