PROPOSALS have been drawn up for 130 new homes in Mile Oak if plans are approved.
The development has been earmarked for a plot adjacent to the Sir Robert Peel Hospital on Plantation Lane.
The proposals would also see the construction of an 80-bed care home.
A planning statement said:
“It is proposed that the development could be arranged in a perimeter structure to provide a cohesive design approach.
“It is anticipated that the built form will be predominantly two-storey across the site, with pockets of higher-density housing in the form of apartments, ranging in height from three to four storeys.
“Corner buildings will be incorporated where appropriate to maintain active frontages and provide gateway elements to the scheme.
“In terms of housing provision, 43% of all the dwellings would be affordable. The precise portions of social rented and shared ownership will be agreed with Lichfield District Council.”
Access to the site would be via a new junction on Watling Street.
Full details can be found on Lichfield District Council’s planning website.
