A planning row has erupted over whether housing proposals are within the boundary of a small Shropshire village.
The proposal is for houses off Birchmoor Lane in Edgmond. Picture: Google
“The applicant fails to provide detail regarding scale, mass, density, finishes et cetera, all of which are required to enable analysis. “The discrete, infill nature of the site will ensure that any potential impact upon the wider landscape is extremely limited,” the developer said in their application statement.
Telford & Wrekin Council refused the outline planning application in December, stating that the planned houses were not within an established settlement. “It is the appellants’ strong contention that the site demonstrably falls within the village of Edgmond. It is a discrete infill plot within a small group of dwellings on the western edge of the village.
They argued that the homes would help to meet the rural housing requirement and would"deliver isolated homes in the countryside".
