HUNDREDS of Burntwood residents have attended a meeting over plans to build hundreds of new homes off Coulter Lane.

Bloor Homes has put forward proposals which would also include open space, community orchards, allotments, play areas and a “community hub”.

Land could also be set aside for future expansion of neighbouring Fulfen Primary School.

But a meeting by the Burntwood Action Group at Burntwood Memorial Institute saw speakers tell attendees – including town council leader Cllr Darren Ennis and county council representative Cllr Andrew Clissett – that there were “serious concerns” about the strain the development would place on local infrastructure.

A spokesperson for Burntwood Action Group said:

> “Residents were urged to voice their objections by engaging with their local, district and county councillors.  
>  
> “To demonstrate collective opposition, attendees also agreed to display Save Our Green Belt posters.  
>  
> “The group also pledged to continue coordinating efforts, keep residents informed and ensure their voices are heard.”

The meeting comes after Bloor Homes launched a new consultation website at [www.bloorhomesburntwood.com](http://www.bloorhomesburntwood.com/?ref=lichfieldlive.co.uk), where the plans are able to be viewed and feedback can be left. 

The proposals are also being presented by the developer at a consultation drop-in exhibition at Burntwood Memorial Hall on Rugeley Road between 2pm and 7.30pm on 4th June.

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

> “We are pleased to be able to present our emerging plans for a sensitive, landscape-led new neighbourhood of high-quality homes and extensive green public open spaces in Burntwood. We are keen to understand the priorities and aspirations of local people to help shape the plans.  
>  
> “The views of local people will help shape a neighbourhood that provides a housing mix, community facilities and high-quality open spaces that meet the needs of the town.”

Bloor Homes say that the outline proposals would mean a reduction in the potential scale of development from that previously proposed through Lichfield District Council’s Local Plan.

If it gets the go-ahead, the company said up to 43% of the properties would be affordable homes with a mix of shared ownership and social rental.
