Plans for the 5.91 hectares of land – which includes the now derelict site at Boyd House and Reynolds House – are set to include serviced office accommodation, commercial units and flexible retail including leisure, food and drink outlets.Telford & Wrekin Council has submitted the planning application, which will be considered by its own councillors at Southwater Library next Wednesday night.
Two letters of objection were submitted against the scheme during the first round of consultation, both highlighting the size of the six-storey block of flats and lack of parking provision provided. The education part of the hub is to be operated by Telford College and plans to accommodate 200 students aged 16 to 18 and 19 staff.
The plans state that the first phase of building includes 117 homes and 72 affordable properties, including affordable and shared ownership, which will be delivered through Homes England funding.
