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.
