Informed by a draft allocation in the emerging Telford & Wrekin Local Plan Review, family-owned five-star housebuilder, Bloor Homes, is preparing an outline planning application for Bratton Green.
Bratton Green is a proposed new neighbourhood to the north of Bratton and Shawbirch, Telford. It forms part of a wider site identified in the review of Telford & Wrekin’s Local Plan to meet local housing needs over the next 15 years, in line with government housing targets.
In line with the draft Local Plan allocation, the proposed new neighbourhood at Bratton Green would provide:
- Up to 1,500 high-quality, energy efficient family and affordable homes
- A new three-form-entry primary school
- A local centre offering a range of community facilities and mobility hub
- Specialist older people’s housing
- Extensive new outdoor recreation facilities including sports pitches and supporting infrastructure
- A focus on providing high-quality green space and biodiversity enhancements
- A network of landscaped walking and cycling routes
- Extensive landscape planting to significantly increase tree cover across the site, contributing to the vision for Telford and Wrekin to become a Forest Community by 2040
- 2hectares (ha) of employment space
- A package of local highways improvements
- Significant investment to support local infrastructure, including healthcare, education, sports and leisure, etc.
A focus on sustainability and biodiversity
The new homes at Bratton Green will be built to Future Homes Standard, meaning a gas-free development with new homes incorporating air source heat pumps, PV cells (solar panels), uprated insulation and EV charging infrastructure. This will deliver a neighbourhood of net zero carbon ready homes.
Bratton Green will be a vibrant, healthy neighbourhood, with a focus on providing extensive green public open spaces and significant biodiversity enhancements. Existing mature trees and hedgerows will be retained and enhanced with new landscape planting, delivering a significant increase in tree cover across the site. A blue infrastructure scheme for the site will deliver high quality wetland habitats.
Bloor Homes is a member of the Homes for Nature programme which will see the installation of swift nesting boxes in every new home and hedgehog highways between gardens.
Community consultation
In addition to reflecting the vision for development set out in the Telford & Wrekin Local Plan, we want to ensure that the emerging proposals for Bratton Green align as much as possible with the priorities and aspirations of the local communities in Shawbirch, Bratton, Wrockwardine, Wellington and the surrounding area.
Bloor Homes has created this website to provide an opportunity for members of the community to view the emerging masterplan for Bratton Green and provide feedback on your priorities and aspirations for new homes, open spaces and community facilities to help shape the outline plans.
Consultation drop-in events
To complement our online consultation, we will also be presenting the information from this website at a consultation drop-in event. This will provide an opportunity for members of the community, including those who have limited access to the internet, to view the proposals, speak to members of the project team and provide feedback.
The consultation event will take place as follows:
Date: Thursday 22nd May 2025
Venue: Admaston House Community Centre, Wellington Road, Telford TF5 0BN
Time: 2pm – 6:45pm
