Plans to build up to 300 homes on edge of town

Boningale Developments want to build up to 300 homes off Bridgnorth Road near Much Wenlock

Up to 300 homes could be built on the edge of a Shropshire town.

Boningale Developments wants to build on land off Bridgnorth Road, Much Wenlock.

It said the homes would reflect the character of the area and include affordable properties.

A community exhibition is being held on Friday 3 October at the town's Priory Hall, with an online consultation running until 17 October, ahead of an outline planning application being submitted.

The site is made up of two pieces of land on either side of Bridgnorth Road to the south of Much Wenlock.

One is next to Much Wenlock Infant School and the residential areas of Hunters Gate and Forester Avenue, while the other is between Bridgnorth Road and Callaughton Lane.

The developer said the scheme would include measures to address existing flooding concerns in the Hunters Gate area.

"These substantial works would not be possible if not for residential development, and will bring great benefit to existing residents in the south of Much Wenlock," stated Boningale.
