A developer that wants to have five new industrial units on the site of a former Telford factory has been told it needs to continue to consult with residents before the scheme is approved.
The units would include ancillary office space, with associated parking, EV parking, gatehouses, cycle shelters, an attenuation pond, and landscaping also part of the plans."We know, and support, development and employment in the area," said Councillor Gemma Offland, ward member for Hadley and Leegomery.
"I object on the layout of the bays facing residential properties, while highway congestion along the A442 has always been a problem in the area, not to mention all of the traffic along Hadley Park Road which is a residential area."However, Sam Clark, chief executive officer of Mercia Real Estate, said the firm has taken on board feedback from technical consultees and members of the public.
"The site is located in a strategic employment area. It hasn’t come forward previously due to a lack of investment and its historic ownership. Mr Clark added that the company is already in advanced negotiations with interested parties, with the site creating 1,970 jobs.
