Developers plan 150 more houses for Shrewsbury

Developers are determined to go ahead with three new housing estates that would bring 150 new homes to Shrewsbury – and another plan for a village could double in size.

It emerged today that building firms have appealed against Shropshire Council's decision to refuse three applications for more than 150 homes.

And another plan already approved for 39 homes in the village of Cross Houses is now expected to be expanded by another 35. All four applications are expected to attract opposition.

Shropshire Council's planning officers last year turned down plans for 125 homes east of Nobold Lane, off Longden Road, as well as 12 in Bomere Heath.

A further 20 homes planned off Plealey Lane were rejected earlier this year by central planning committee members.
