Plans to build 80 houses in Telford

Outline planning permission is being sought to build the homes on land north of Grove Road, Overdale. The plans are due to be discussed at Telford & Wrekin's Plans Board on October 3.

A report to the meeting recommends delegated powers are given to the manager of Development Management to grant outline permission for the scheme.

Permission would be subject to a Section 106 agreement to provide 15 per cent affordable homes, £500 per home for off site recreation facilities and more than £61,000 for leisure facilities.

But concerns have been raised that the homes would have problems with noise from the M54.

Lawley & Overdale Parish Council has objected to the scheme. Ten objections have also been sent to planning chiefs, raising issues with over-development and loss of green space.
