Plans for 87 new homes on land in Burntwood are due to be debated by councillors this week.

Bromford Housing hopes to build houses on the so-called ‘blue hoardings’ site off Milestone Way.

The proposals will now be discussed by Burntwood Town Council’s planning committee at a meeting on Tuesday (20th July).

The views of the committee will then form part of the discussion when a final decision is made by Lichfield District Council.

The scheme [has already drawn criticism](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/burntwood-councillor-criticises-plan-for-housing-on-blue-hoarding-site/) from local councillors due to the area having been long earmarked as part of a new town centre development.

Cllr Steve Norman said a leaflet outlining the plans gave no consideration to the land being used for anything other than housing.

> “The document has the usual artist’s impression of a lovely development – designed to win the support of the public – and shows the whole of the ‘blue hoarding site’ covered with houses.  
>  
> “The landowner already has planning permission for retail development and has promised he town that is what they want to do for years now.  
>  
> “In addition, the Burntwood Neighbourhood Plan supports this proposal, as does Lichfield District Council’s own Local Plan.”  
>  
> Cllr Steve Norman

The meeting of Burntwood Town Council’s planning committee will take place at 6pm at Burntwood Memorial Institute.
