International law firm Eversheds has today announced its appointment by the London Borough of Croydon to advise on its proposed partnership with the private sector. Croydon is the first Council in the UK to emulate the successful regional development agency PPP model, by creating a £450 million urban regeneration vehicle in partnership with a private developer.
 

Developers Langtree McLean were last night granted outline planning permission for the first phase of a £250 million scheme to regenerate Liverpool’s derelict International Garden Festival site. The consent is to build 1,308 flats and 65 houses on land at Otterspool which has fallen into neglect since the 1984 festival.

A major scheme which promises to create up to 270 new jobs and clean up a highly-contaminated former colliery site on the Nottinghamshire-Derbyshire border has been submitted to planners.
