This website presents Boningale Developments’ emerging proposals for a sustainable residential development on Land at Bridgnorth Road, Much Wenlock.
The development would include new housing, public open space, flood alleviation infrastructure, and landscaping.
A scheme is being developed with a view to submitting an outline planning application at the close of this consultation period. This website sets out our vision and proposals for how the site could be developed and the potential benefits it could provide.
Shropshire Council will also notify local residents once the planning application has been submitted which will provide a further opportunity for the local community to comment.
Online Consultation will run until October 17th.
Community Exhibition
Boningale Developments are also hosting an in person community exhibition on Friday 3rd October at the Priory Hall in Much Wenlock, from 3pm-7pm.
The Vision
Our vision for development at Bridgnorth Road is for a high-quality development of up to 300 homes, to include public open space and landscaping. Aligned with the now-withdrawn draft Local Plan, which had allocated part of the site for development, we would also incorporate measures to address existing flood concerns in the Hunters Gate area.
These substantial works would not be possible if not for residential development, and will bring great benefit to existing residents in the south of Much Wenlock.
Variety of high quality housing - Development proposals will provide up To 300 new homes, including affordable properties, designed to meet local housing demands and reflect the character of Much Wenlock.
Delivering flood alleviation – Development proposals will address known flood risk issues to the south of Much Wenlock, aimed at protecting properties at Hunters Gate and Forester Avenue from future flooding scenarios.
Providing community facilities - The development will provide for community facilities and we are keen to hear what may be of interest, such as a community orchard or trim trail.
A greener way to live - Creation of new and accessible public open spaces, including parkland edges, children’s play areas, and green spaces designed to support local wildlife, enhance biodiversity through additional planting and habitat creation.
A truly landscape-led design - Maintaining the natural character, strengthening landscape buffers and providing significant tree and hedgerow mitigation planting.
Well-Connected and Sustainable - A well-planned street layout with safe walking and cycling routes will shape the design, supported by a modern and sustainable drainage strategy
Safer streets for all – Development proposals will incorporate traffic calming measures within the site and in the surrounding area, creating safer, slower-speed streets for pedestrians, cyclists, and drivers alike.
