Plans submitted for more than 40 homes on Walsall green belt near disused railway line
The proposed site at McClean Way has described the proposed build as a 'logical and natural extension of Clayhanger'.
A developer has announced plans to build 48 affordable homes on green belt land in Walsall.
The proposed site is between Clayhanger and the disused railway line now known as the McClean Way.
Applicant Living Space Housing has described the proposed build as a ‘logical and natural extension of Clayhanger’.
Currently in agriculture use, the green belt site has been allocated for up to 52 homes by Reform in the latest draft Walsall Local Borough Plan.
The proposal includes five one-bedroom homes, 20 two-bedroom homes, 19 three-bedroom homes, and four four-bedroom homes.
Living Space Design said one hundred per cent of the homes will be affordable.
The applicant said: “We support the council’s conclusion that the site is suitable, available and achievable.
“The scheme delivers direct economic benefits through construction jobs, local trade supply opportunities, and long-term spending from future residents to support businesses within Walsall.
“The proposal delivers high-quality housing on a suitable and logical site, contributing to local housing diversity and creating cohesive, well-connected communities. The proposal provides 48 new homes, 100 per cent of which will comprise affordable housing.”
Walsall Council has set a target date for a decision in January 2027.
