The place
Coventry's regeneration centres on the city centre, where the City Centre South masterplan is rebuilding Bull Yard, Shelton Square and Hertford Street into a mixed-use quarter, alongside affordable housing schemes at Sphinx Drive, Keresley's Arden Glade and the former Daimler Powerhouse site at Sandy Lane.
Who decides and delivers
Coventry City Council is the planning authority for local housing need and the Local Plan Review, and the accountable body for Pride in Place and its Impact Fund. Neighbourhood boards at Willenhall, Hillfields and Tile Hill shape and sign off their Pride in Place plans, alongside the West Midlands Combined Authority's regional priorities and the Coventry Growth Arc. Registered providers and developers under contract include Platform Housing Group, Vistry, Orbit Homes, Dandara, Bellway and Countryside.

Regeneration projects in Coventry
Coventry's largest regeneration scheme is the City Centre South masterplan, rebuilding Bull Yard, Shelton Square, City Arcade and Hertford Street into a mixed-use quarter. Affordable housing schemes are under way at Sphinx Drive, at Keresley's Arden Glade site and at Sandy Lane, where the historic Daimler Powerhouse is retained as the centrepiece of a new scheme on the former car factory site. Together these span the city centre and its western edge.
Construction and housing funding in Coventry
National funding and contractual decisions for Coventry's housing schemes sit with Homes England and the National Housing Bank. The West Midlands Combined Authority sets regional priorities and tenure mix through the Coventry Growth Arc and its integrated settlement, which also channels UK Shared Prosperity Fund money into local business support and retrofit programmes. Inside the city, the three Pride in Place neighbourhoods hold separate ten-year allocations, and a dedicated Impact Fund supports smaller community projects alongside them.
