PLANNING
The property lies within the planning jurisdiction of Walsall Council where Planning Policy is covered by the Local Plan which includes the Black Country Core Strategy (BCCS), Walsall Site Allocations Document, Unitary Development Plan and Walsall Town Centre Area Action Plan.

Walsall Council is currently preparing a new Walsall Borough Local Plan (WBLP) and, as of September 2026, it has reached the Regulation 19 (Publication) stage, which is the final consultation before submission for Examination. It is not yet adopted.

Within this new Plan, it is understood that the Council is planning to take a "brownfield-first approach", which suggests that development proposals ought to be supported at the subject property (STP).

Allocation
The site is allocated within the Walsall Town Centre Area Action Plan which was adopted at by the Council in January 2019. In this plan, the Council will protect active industry within the town centre boundary through allocating and safeguarding local quality industry sites as 'Consider for Release' for other uses within the provisions of BCCS Policy DEL2, and subject to the need to ensure that the land supply for required uses does not fall below the minimum requirement set out in BCCS Policy EMP3. One of the sites that falls within this category is the property which is referred to as FE Towe Ltd, Charles Street (Site Ref: TC15).

Also, Policy AAPLV1: 'Residential Developments' states that new homes in the town centre will be supported by allocating FE Towe Ltd, Charles Street for residential development.

Further, Policy AAPINV4: 'Walsall Waterfront' mentions residential uses will be suitable on the site as part of the Walsall Waterfront South. The Action Plan states that this is the only remaining industrial building in an area that has not been redeveloped for residential.
