Stafford Borough Council bought the Guildhall Shopping Centre last year as part of its ambitious town centre regeneration project.
On Tuesday, members of the council’s planning committee will consider an application to demolish buildings on the site so it can be prepared for future development.
Historic features including the clock tower, Market Square façade and St John’s Market entrances are set to be retained however.
The authority has said it will be seeking a future development partner for transformation of the Guildhall Shopping Centre site due to the scale of the project. And a separate application for a proposed business and residential scheme is expected to come forward some time in the next year.
