A planning application to build nine new 'affordable' bungalows on a vacant plot of land in Dothill, near Wellington, was submitted to Telford & Wrekin Council earlier this year.

In the plans, Wrekin Housing Group proposed nine bungalows be built on the site of the former nine-storey apartment building Haughmond Court, which was demolished in 2015.

The now-flattened building was of the same design as Apley Court, which still stands to the north of the plot and today provides sheltered accommodation for older people operated by Wrekin Housing Group.
