Telford and Wrekin’s updated Local Plan, set for consultation next week, presents an ambitious vision for the borough’s growth, spotlighting three significant areas for sustainable urban expansion.

The proposed developments include a site near Shawbirch for 2,100 homes, 3,700 properties off the A442 at Wheat Leasowes, and another 2,700 homes east of Muxton. These housing initiatives form a core part of the council’s strategy to construct an impressive 8,500 homes by 2040, averaging 441 homes annually.

The consultation for this transformative draft Local Plan will kick off on Wednesday, October 25, and will span 11 weeks. Residents and stakeholders are invited to share their feedback, shaping the future landscape of Telford and Wrekin.
