Residents and councillors in a Shropshire village have raised concerns over plans by a developer to build up to 100 homes in the parish, which they say could double its size.
Boningale Homes, based in Albrighton, are hoping to build a development near Floyer Lane in the village of Benthall in Barrow, just outside Broseley.
Their proposal is to build up to 100 houses, including 35 per cent"affordable homes" along with a play area for children, a wildlife area, a community allotments, along with sports pitches. Local councillor Dan Thomas, who represents the Much Wenlock district at Shropshire Council, said the developer was just 'testing the water' but warned 100 homes"would double the population of Benthall".
"I can see several concerns with these plans, not just from Floyer Lane but also from Spout Lane. All other matters apart, this is outside any development boundary, as well as being almost entirely within the Broseley Conservation Area."
