Shropshire Council<\/a> has given the green light for plans to redevelop the former Ironbridge Power Station to bring 1,000 new homes to the site<\/h2>\n

Consultants Pegasus Group<\/a> secured outline planning permission on behalf of the Harworth Group<\/a> to bring 1,000 new homes to the former Ironbridge Power Station site.<\/p>\n

The development is also set to deliver a strategic employment zone, a local centre, allotments, sports pitches, a railway link, leisure uses, primary\/nursery school, a retirement village, walking and cycling routes, and associated landscaping, drainage<\/a> and infrastructure works.<\/p>\n

Planning officers have resolved to grant planning permission, subject to a referral to the secretary of state.<\/p>\n

Shropshire Council, the lead authority, will now work with Telford & Wrekin<\/a> to deliver the cross-boundary infrastructure.<\/p>\n

\u2018A complex site\u2019<\/h3>\n

Steve Lewis-Roberts, senior director at Pegasus Group said: \u201cWe are extremely pleased that this major development scheme now has the seal of approval from both councils, and that work can begin.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a complex site with many planning challenges.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt has been a great team effort to provide positive solutions to the issues that have been raised, which has now culminated in support for the proposals from both councils.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis decision provides the basis for the delivery of a new,\u00a0high-quality distinctive settlement based upon good design principles, which integrates successfully into its wider surroundings.\u201d<\/p>\n

Harworth Group will act as a master developer for the whole site over its lifetime \u2013 providing site-wide infrastructure and selling serviced residential parcels to housebuilders<\/a>.<\/p>\n

David Cockroft, regional director for the Midlands at Harworth, added: \u201cOur approved masterplan for Ironbridge Power Station will transform this former industrial site into a sustainable new community, providing additional homes, jobs and infrastructure for local people.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have worked with stakeholders every step of the way to ensure this is a long-term development that the community can be proud of, and one that is well connected to the existing local network of roads, footpaths and open spaces that surround the site.<\/p>\n

\u201cWork to remove the former power station buildings is well-progressed and we aim to begin the first phase of construction on the site early next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs always, we will engage with all local stakeholders to keep them updated of our progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
