AN extension to the approval of plans to build nine new homes on land in Wigginton has been approved by Lichfield District Council.

The development has been proposed for the plot at Silver Birches on Syerscote Lane.

But despite permission originally being granted in October 2022, no developer has yet been found.

A planning statement said:

> “Silver Birches was originally built in the 1970s as an agricultural workers’ dwelling  
> associated with nearby Arkall Farm.  
>  
> “The site is currently accessed via a private driveway off Syerscote Lane. Surrounding  
> land uses include a pair of cottages to the north, a railway line to the west and  
> agricultural land with outline planning permission for an urban expansion to the south  
> and east.  
>  
> “The outline planning permission granted in October 2022 requires that reserved  
> matters be submitted within three years of the date of approval. To date, a developer  
> has not been found, and the applicant wishes to renew the permission so that the site  
> can be marketed effectively.”
