BLOOR HOMES – BRATTON GREEN

Informed by a draft allocation in the emerging Telford & Wrekin Local Plan, family-owned five-star housebuilder, Bloor Homes, is at the early stages of preparing outline plans for Bratton Green.

Bratton Green is a proposed new neighbourhood to the north of Bratton and Shawbirch, Telford. It forms part of a wider site identified in the emerging Telford & Wrekin Local Plan to meet local housing need over the next 15 years, in line with government housing targets. 

Informed by the draft Local Plan allocation, the proposed new neighbourhood at Bratton Green would provide:

• Up to 1,500 high-quality, energy efficient family and affordable homes
• Specialist older people’s housing
• A new three-form-entry primary school
• A local centre offering a range of community facilities and mobility hub
• Extensive new outdoor recreation facilities including sports pitches and supporting infrastructure
• A focus on providing high-quality green space and biodiversity enhancements
• A network of landscaped walking and cycling routes
• Extensive landscape planting to significantly increase tree cover across the site
• 2ha of employment space
• A package of local highways improvements
• Significant investment to support local infrastructure, including healthcare, education, sports and leisure, etc.

A focus on sustainability and biodiversity

The new homes at Bratton Green will be built to Future Homes Standard, meaning a gas-free development with new homes incorporating air source heat pumps, PV cells, uprated insulation and EV charging infrastructure. This will deliver a neighbourhood of operationally net zero carbon homes.

Bratton Green will be a vibrant, healthy neighbourhood, with a focus on providing extensive green public open spaces and significant biodiversity enhancements. Existing mature trees and hedgerow will be retained and enhanced, where possible, with new landscape planting, delivering a significant increase in tree cover across the site. A blue infrastructure scheme for the site will deliver high quality wetland habitats.

Bloor Homes is a member of the Homes for Nature programme which will see the installation of swift nesting boxes in every new home and hedgehog highways between gardens.
