Latest Telford & Wrekin Council planning applications and decisions including new dwellings at park home site

Planners have given their approval in principle to plans for up to eight new homes at a site in Telford.

Telford & Wrekin Council planners told applicant Severn Gorge Park that even though they accept the principle of the proposal, the technical details would need to be approved before full planning permission could be granted.

Objections had been lodged by council drainage officials and residents of Severn Gorge Park, a park home and camping site.

The site off Bridgnorth Road, Madeley, had been granted permission for housing development in 2014, 2017, 2020 and 2023 but permission lapsed after work wasn’t started in time.

An objector told planners that the homes would use the same lane that is used by the 120-plus residents of Severn Gorge Park.

"This extra development would create a traffic bottleneck making it more unsafe to walk down the lane," they told planners.

"It would make it difficult for emergency services to access the residents when urgently required.

"The wildlife that now live on the site would be lost. The night time roosting for birds and bats would be affected by the extra lighting and noise from the new development."

An application for approval of technical details must be made no later than the expiration of three years.
