A PLANNING report has recommended a development of 72 new homes in Whittington is approved.

Lichfield District Council’s planning committee will decide on [the scheme](https://lichfieldlive.co.uk/plans-submitted-for-72-new-homes-on-land-in-whittington/), which would also see the demolition of the existing property at 64 Back Lane.

A report said that the site was in the opinion of officers deemed as ‘grey belt’.

It added:

> “There is a demonstrable unmet need for the type of development proposed in the Lichfield district area. The application site is considered a sustainable location with local services and access to transport connections in Whittington.”

The planning committee will decide on whether to approve the proposals at a meeting on 13th April.
