The place
Dudley's regeneration is anchored in its adopted Local Plan, which names priority brownfield sites at Ketley Quarry, Waterfront Way and Portersfield in Dudley town centre, alongside council-led estate schemes at Swan Street in Netherton and Beacon Rise in Sedgley.
Who decides and delivers
Dudley Metropolitan Borough Council is the planning authority for local housing need and its own new-build programme, sitting within the West Midlands Combined Authority's seven-borough area, and is the accountable body for Pride in Place and the Dudley Local Plan 2041. The Dudley Neighbourhood Board, covering the corridor from Priory to Dudley Wood including Netherton and Dudley town centres, shapes and signs off the borough's single Pride in Place plan. Delivery partners named in the briefing include Morro Partnerships and Jessup Partnership, alongside registered provider Black Country Housing Group.

The council is separately building affordable-rent homes at Swan Street in Netherton, and has already delivered smaller council-led schemes at Beacon Rise in Sedgley and Lower Valley Road in Brierley Hill.
