Informed by the vision set out in Telford & Wrekin Council’s emerging Local Plan Review, Bloor Homes is proposing a nature-led new community at Bratton Green. Bratton Green will deliver net zero carbon ready homes for all with a thriving local centre at its heart, featuring a school, shops, community facilities and a mobility hub. The provision of employment opportunities will offer the chance to work close to home, while extensive sports and leisure facilities will help create a healthy community.
