The scheme submitted to South Staffordshire District Council will have more than 40 per cent affordable housing delivered.
In total 73 new homes are planned for the site with access from Four Ashes Road. An element of the site is within greenbelt land.
The affordable housing on the site will be split between social rented at 50 per cent, 27 per cent shared ownership and 23 per cent first homes, with the developer working to ensure those with a connection to Brewood are prioritised.
The land has previously been identified as a site for future development with a target of 63 new homes.
The design and access statement reads: “The proposed development of 73 homes in this well established town setting has been carefully designed to integrate seamlessly with the existing landscape and community. Through thoughtful planning and design, this development aims to provide well-connected, high-quality, sustainable housing while respecting and enhancing the character of the surrounding area.
“The level of development balances needs and suitability against recognition of the local context. The scheme is appropriate to its setting and provides a density, mix and range of tenures that help to meet the requirements of South Staffordshire District Council and the needs of the local community. Furthermore, the development incorporates a variety of housing types to meet diverse needs, from affordable housing options to family homes, ensuring inclusivity and social cohesion.
“The development reinforces existing links and creates new connections to the wider area, as well as providing a meaningful area of public open space that offers a wide variety of activities and community benefits. These elements contribute to a sense of place and identity, fostering a harmonious relationship between the built environment and the natural landscape.”
The plans are currently out for consultation, set to close on April 20, after which point the scheme will be assessed by planning officers at South Staffordshire District Council.
