The land at New Road which could be used for housing

The site at Mount Road [has been earmarked for development with a range of different sizes of homes being proposed](“//lichfieldlive.co.uk/2017/03/08/developers-hoping-to-create-96-new-homes-on-industrial-estate-land-in-burntwood/“).

The former industrial land has been empty for a number of years and the report to Lichfield District Council’s planning committee says local residents are supportive of the idea of revitalising the land.

The report added: “It is considered that adequate open space will be provided on site to meet the needs of the future and existing residents, while the number of dwellings and mix proposed, will provide a suitable density of development to integrate into the area, whilst also helping to meet the  
accommodation needs of the district.”

The planning committee will make a final decision on the proposal on July 24.
