Public consultation for mixed tenure housing development on former Phoenix School site
Telford & Wrekin Council, Nuplace Ltd and Wrekin Housing Group will be holding a public consultation event next month to showcase proposals for a new mixed tenure housing scheme on the site of the former Phoenix School in Dawley.
The consultation event will take place on Friday 11 October (4pm-7pm) at Dawley House, 22 Burton Street, Dawley, TF4 2ES to discuss the new development which is circa 212 new homes on the site off Manor Road.
Proposals are a mixture of general needs and specialist accommodation for affordable and private rent, as well as open market sale, and include a new play area and allotments for the wider community to enjoy. The Wrekin Housing Group is currently in talks with the developer regarding the affordable element of the proposed devleopment.
The 212 dwelling scheme will include a range of 1 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes, retirement living apartments and bungalows.
The housing mix has been developed to meet gaps in existing provision and deliver affordable housing for older people, accessible and adaptable homes and bungalows across all tenures.
All homes will be high quality sustainable design, delivered to Future Homes Standards and Nationally Described Space Standards.
Benefits of the scheme include:
- High quality sustainable designed homes
- Homes delivered to Future Homes Standards and Nationally Described Space Standards
- New community facilities including on site play provision and community allotments
- Extensive planting and sustainable drainage infrastructure linking existing green spaces adjacent to the site, including Dawley Nature Reserve and improving biodiversity.
The consultation event will provide an opportunity for local residents and businesses to view and comment on the development proposals for the former Phoenix School site on Manor Road, prior to the planning application being submitted later in the year.
Visitors will have the opportunity to see development plans and speak to the team who will be on hand to answer any questions.
For residents who are unable to attend the in-person event, the following webpage www.nuplace.co.uk/phoenix will be live for residents to provide their feedback via a survey from Friday 11 October (12 noon) to Friday 18 October (12 noon).
The consultation event will take place on:
Friday 11 October between 4pm and 7pm at Dawley House, 22 Burton Street; Dawley, Telford, TF4 2ES
There will be a further formal statutory consultation process once the planning application has been submitted.
