Planning inspector to rule on proposal to build home on overgrown land in Telford
A planning inspector is set to decide whether a three-storey home can be built on overgrown land in a Telford cul-de-sac.
Applicant Parry Jones Homes submitted plans last year for a three-bedroomed home to be built on vacant land at Bluebell Coppice in Ketley.
The applicant says that the site is ‘largely overgrown with self-seeded vegetation’.
During the application phase seven separate objections were raised by residents, with all but one of these coming from residents of Bluebell Coppice.
Telford & Wrekin Council’s drainage department also objected to the scheme.
The council’s planning department refused the plans in October raising fears over a loss of an important piece of open space. They added that the proposed house would have a ‘cramped appearance’ and would create an ‘incongruous feature’ within the street.
