Planning company files 49-property blueprint

A planning firm has submitted a blueprint for a 49-home scheme.

The Strategic Land Group hopes to create an East Staffordshire estate.

Bosses say the 11.5-acre greenfield venture – based in Abbots Bromley, between Stafford and Burton-upon-Trent, would feature 40 per cent affordable housing, a public open space and a children’s play area.

They add it would boost East Staffordshire Borough Council’s housing targets.

Paul Smith, managing director at Manchester-based The Strategic Land Group, said: “We’re pleased to have submitted our planning application for the site, which recognises its strong location and potential for residential use.

“East Staffordshire Borough Council is currently unable to demonstrate a robust five-year housing land supply.

“Our proposed development represents an opportunity to help address the identified gap, supporting the borough in bringing forward a deliverable residential scheme that will contribute to meeting local housing demand.”

The Strategic Land Group was supported by planning consultancy Emery Planning.
