Up to 15 homes have been put forward for land near Little Stocks Close in Kinlet, near Bridgnorth, which would include 12 open market and three affordable houses.

Rainwater recycling and solar panels could be incorporated into the design, according to outline plans submitted to Shropshire Council.

A further eight affordable homes could also be built on a nearby site as part of a separate planning application which has been granted approval by planning officers at Shirehall.

Robert Miles, a planning consultant at Les Stephen Planning, based in Shrewsbury, said: "We're just waiting for the legal agreement with Shropshire Housing Association for the eight affordable homes to be finalised.

"The plans were approved under delegated powers and we expect work to begin on those imminently.

"For the new scheme of 15 homes, we are just applying for outline planning permission at the moment.
