Revised plans for new homes in Shrewsbury

A developer wants to build 38 homes on land off Cedars Drive in Shrewsbury

Developers have come back with a revised scheme to build 38 homes in Shrewsbury.

Living Space Housing has submitted a proposal for land to the west and south of Cedars Drive, near Ellesmere Road, with a reduction of six homes following feedback from Shropshire Council.

A planning and design statement said that, despite it being outside the town's development boundary, it is still considered an acceptable location due to the proximity of local services.

Local residents can comment on the plans online until 12 December.

"Shrewsbury and the wider county currently have a significant undersupply of affordable housing and therefore the provision of a 100% affordable scheme in this context would weigh heavily in favour of the proposal," the statement read.

It added that the proposed site access was safe and suitable to serve the proposed development, and the scheme would not have a detrimental impact on the local highway network.
