Barratt David Wilson Homes is seeking consent for the detailed plans for 109 houses at the former Ironbridge Power Station.
The company had a previous application for the same proposal rejected last year over concerns about the "quality of design".
The report detailing the refusal said: "The scheme fails to capture an identity or sense of place that is relevant to the site and its history."
A further application was submitted in April of this year, and is currently being considered by Shropshire Council.
But, neighbouring Telford & Wrekin Council, which is a consultee on the plans, has voiced its concerns – again over the design of the houses proposed, and the space between the houses planned.
