Nuplace, Telford & Wrekin Council’s housing company, has lodged a planning application to bring forward the plans for the Gower building in St Georges.

The scheme will protect the existing building, provide a new parish office and community space, enhanced play facilities and a number of new quality homes.

It will also allow St Georges C of E Primary School to significantly enhance the educational facilities available to pupils, with more flexibility around their accommodation.

Telford & Wrekin Council and Nuplace are working with St Georges & Priorslee Parish Council on the plans.
