The Corus site is located on the former Corus Rail steel works in Workington.
The site has an extant planning consent, underpinned by a masterplan, for mixed use development comprising residential, commercial, small scale retail, community and leisure uses.
Persimmon Homes secured an option on the northern portion of the site and has delivered residential development over two phases - and provided the main access road from the adjacent industrial estate to north.
A development opportunity exists on the southern portion of the site and the landowner is seeking developer interest to deliver the remaining elements of the masterplan. This presents potential for significant housing development and the delivery of the non-residential uses, which would drive the urban transformation of the coast area of Workington.
