In a design and access statement the applicant said it was designing the scheme for The Wrekin Housing Group, which would be responsible for managing the properties. Micharon Homes added: “The development of the site would not harm the desire to maintain separation between built-up areas. The application site is a small area of land that will not, if developed, lead to the built-up area of Madeley joining the built-up area of Ironbridge.
Madeley Town Council, The Ironbridge and Coalbrookdale Civic Society, The Gorge Parish Council and Ironbridge Meadows Group also objected.Councillor Healy said that the land and neighbouring fields ‘form an important buffer zone’ to protect the ‘internationally important’ Ironbridge Gorge World Heritage Site.
