CAMPAIGNERS say they are determined to keep up the fight against plans for hundreds of new homes on land in Burntwood.

Bloor Homes has drawn up [revised proposals for the site off Coulter Lane](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/revised-plans-submitted-for-housing-development-in-burntwood/).

But the development could still see 250 properties built on the plot.

Despite the changes to the plans, Burntwood Action Group said it was ready to launch a battle to halt the development.

A spokesperson said:

> “We are finalising an objection guide based on professional advice from our planners and heritage experts.  
>  
> “We are ready for this fight.”

The group has urged residents to follow the advice if they want to object to the proposals.

They explained:

> “We know people are angry – we are too. But now is time for strategic action and not a rush to object.  
>  
> “Why? Because a comment is not the same as a legal objection. To stop 250 houses on our green belt we need to talk about heritage, highway law, infrastructure and policy.  
>  
> “If everyone posts ‘I don’t want this’ it is easy to ignore. If we all post technical, law-based objections they have to answer us.”

Bloor Homes’ revised proposals have reduced the number of homes originally earmarked for the site, as well as removing a planned community hub following feedback from residents.

Emma Foster, senior planning manager at Bloor Homes Midlands, said:

> “We are pleased to have submitted our outline planning application for a sensitive, landscape-led development in Burntwood.  
>  
> “We are conscious of the significant local interest in our proposals and have sought to respond positively and proactively to feedback received through our community consultation wherever we can.  
>  
> “We have significantly reduced the overall scale of development and removed development completely from the site parcel east of Coulter Lane.  
>  
> “Our plans will provide extensive attractively landscaped public open spaces offering a range of outdoor recreational opportunities for the whole community.  
>  
> “The outline planning application is the first formal stage in the planning process and we remain committed to ongoing engagement with local representatives to provide much-needed high-quality homes at this sustainable infill location while delivering community benefits wherever possible.”
