en.Wedoany.com Reported - Sunderland City Council has signed a pre-development agreement with developer Muse to jointly formulate a plan for a major regeneration scheme.

The three parties will work with the North East Mayoral Strategic Authority to prepare a master plan for the city's Sunniside area.

A spokesperson revealed that, based on "initial indications," the project is expected to bring over 1,000 homes to the area.

The statement emphasized that a core principle of the work is to incorporate existing heritage assets and independent businesses into future plans, thereby consolidating the area's existing strengths.

This new project will proceed in parallel with the council's ongoing 75-home Nile & Villiers development and the National Esports Performance Campus.

In this project, Sunderland City Council and Muse will be supported by the English Cities Fund Partnership, which is jointly established by Muse, Homes England, and L&G.

Feasibility studies are expected to run throughout 2026. Based on the findings, the council and its partners will seek to sign a comprehensive development agreement, which will include detailed funding and delivery plans.
