Stop Forest CityThe entity behind the Forest City 1 proposal is described on the developer site as Albion City Development Corporation (ACDC).

Developer said / we confirmed
Where we have cross-checked against primary sources (e.g. Companies House), we note it. Where we rely solely on the developer site, we state that. Our aim is to provide a clear, citeable summary for journalists and residents—not to insinuate or speculate.
