Homes scheme backing urged

Plans for 12 affordable homes in Wem have been recommended for approval despite strong opposition from the town council and residents, it emerged today.

Developers Severnside Housing want to build the two and three-bedroom houses, a new vehicular access and estate roads off Carwynan in Church Lane.

Planners at Shropshire Council have urged unitary councillors to give the plans their approval, subject to conditions, when they meet in Wem on Tuesday.
