North Lanarkshire Council has granted outline planning permission to redevelop 376 hectares of derelict land for new homes<\/a>, offices<\/a>, retail spaces<\/a> and schools<\/a>.<\/p>\n Nick Davies, Director of Ravenscraig Ltd, said: \u201cThis is a momentous decision that will unlock Ravenscraig\u2019s potential and help to attract more investment into this famous site. There has already been significant regeneration work over the last decade and we\u2019re proud to say Ravenscraig is now a thriving community.<\/p>\n \u201cThis represents the beginning of the next phase of regeneration at Ravenscraig. With planning approval now granted, we will move forward with our ambitious plans to further transform the site, ensuring sustainability<\/a> and inclusive growth are at the heart of our approach.\u201d<\/p>\n The planning decision comes just weeks after initial works began on a new \u00a33.7m public park at Ravenscraig. It also follows North Lanarkshire Council\u2019s announcement of a \u00a3190M roads programme that will boost Ravenscraig\u2019s regeneration.<\/p>\n Since 2006, a number of successful projects have been delivered on the Ravenscraig site. Hundreds of homes have been built, while there is also a state-of-the-art steel-framed<\/a> college campus and major regional sports facility<\/a>, as well as a hotel<\/a> and pub\/restaurant.<\/p>\n Ravenscraig Ltd is a joint venture between Scottish Enterprise, Wilson Bowden and Tata Steel.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The former steelworks site at Ravenscraig near Motherwell is set for further transformation after a new masterplan was given the green light by planning officials.
