People can now give their views on Telford & Wrekin's draft local plan – and ambitions to build nearly 9,000 new homes in the borough.The 11-week consultation on the proposal started yesterday, and from tomorrow, people can view hard copies of the plan – and fill out feedback forms – at local libraries and community centres.
The plan actually includes ambitions for 20,200 homes up until 2040 – but sites for the remainder of the housing, making up 55 per cent of the overall target, have already been approved, or are under construction. One for land north east of Muxton would provide 2,700 homes, another on land to the north west of Bratton and Shawbirch would provide for 2,100 homes, and a third on land to the north of the A442 Wheat Leasowes would include 3,100 homes.
