The agricultural land off Church Road in Lilleshall, near Newport, has been placed in the draft Telford & Wrekin local plan as possibly taking 49 new homes.

Council planners in background documents say issues to do with access and possible flooding “will not significantly impact the deliverability and viability of the site.”

Already set to speak are local opponents, developers, the Shawbirch Medical Practice and even a representative of Dobbies Garden Centres.

The homes are being built for Housing Plus Group by Telford-based Bespoke Construction. The development will include 15 one-bedroom apartments, designed to provide accessible homes for wheelchair users and over 55s close to Telford’s town centre. 

The hub, which meets at the college’s Wellington campus, brings together industry leaders, curriculum specialists and employer partners to shape the future of logistics training in the area.
