Shifnal housing plans are put off
Plans to build 250 houses have been deferred by councillors over concerns about drainage.
Taylor Wimpey has applied for permission to build up to 250 homes off the Wolverhampton road in Shifnal, next to the Thomas Beddoes Court development already under construction.
The company says the new development would include a new town park for new and existing residents, and there is a possibility of a new bus service to the estate in the future.
But councillors have decided they will not make a decision on the plans until a plan was put forward to show how drainage of the site was going to work.
The plan is the latest in a string of applications for new homes in Shifnal, but residents have repeatedly claimed that the town's infrastructure cannot cope.
