Consultation on plans for 1,500 new homes

People are being consulted over plans to build a new development with 1,500 houses in Shropshire.

Bloor Homes said the plans for Telford would include a new primary school, open spaces and investment to support community facilities.

The proposed housing estate would be built to the north of Bratton and Shawbirch.

The company said it was seeking opinions from the public on a number of issues, including the type of houses that should be built.

The housebuilder said it is preparing an outline planning application which would meet the requirements of Telford and Wrekin Council's Local Plan.

It added that it was considering a mix of homes, including family homes, homes suitable for first-time buyers, and accessible properties for those looking to downsize.

In the open spaces, Bloor Homes is proposing new sports pitches, courts and a pavilion or clubhouse facility.

It is seeking feedback on the plans, giving people until 13 June to respond.

A drop-in session has also been arranged at Admaston House Community Centre on Wellington Road in Telford on Thursday, between 14:00 and 18:45 BST.
