Staffordshire housing estate appeal set
Plans for more than 200 homes on land on the border between Lichfield and Tamworth are set to be appealed. The developer – Summix BLT Developments Limited – notified the planning inspector last week and launched an inquiry into the decision.
The plans for land north of Browns Lane in Wigginton were unanimously refused by councillors at Lichfield District Council in November, in line with the officers recommendation which labelled the plans “inappropriate and unacceptable”. They were also unanimously rejected by councillors at Tamworth Borough Council in December as the site is not allocated for development.
