Millbay

The Millbay area of Plymouth is located on the south western edge of the city centre, in Stonehouse which is one of the most deprived neighbourhoods in the region.  

Although Millbay faces many problems typical of inner city areas, it also has significant untapped potential, including one of the largest dock basins in Plymouth, and a wealth of land available for development. 

The vacant sites on the eastern side of Millbay Docks and along Millbay Road are now owned by the Government's regeneration agency, the Homes and Communities Agency (HCA), having been originally purchased by the South West RDA.

Working with its selected lead developer, the English Cities Fund, HCA has brought forward a comprehensive regeneration scheme to create a new and vibrant City Quarter, a destination in itself, but strongly linked to the nearby city centre.
