The developer proposes to also include two areas of public open space as part of the scheme, which is for two single-bedroom bungalows, seven semi-detached two-bedroomed homes, 12 semi-detached three-bedroom homes and two four-bed, with one detached house. Planning officials had recommended that members of Shropshire Council's Northern Planning Committee which met on Tuesday should give the go-ahead.
The money is expected to be spent on improvements to a playing pitch or changing room facilities at a locally agreed site.
