PLANS have been submitted for 210 new homes to be built on the border of Lichfield and Tamworth.
The development at Browns Lane has been submitted by Platform Housing Group for an affordable housing scheme.
The proposals would see half of the site – which was purchased in 2024 – left as open space.
The housing group has worked alongside contractor Lovell Partnership to develop the plans with Tamworth Borough Council and Lichfield District Council.
Mike Baggett, director of land and partnerships at Platform Housing Group, said:
“We are excited to have submitted the reserved matters application for this important site as we continue to seek additional land opportunities across our communities.
“This exciting new scheme represents our growing desire to own the development process, right from initial inception, through to design development and then onto detailed planning approval.
“This particular submission marks a significant step towards starting on site and ultimately delivering a range of much needed affordable homes for the local community.”
The company hopes to start work in early 2027 if plans are approved. The development would feature a mix of social rent, shared ownership and rent-to-buy options
