Major Burton-on-Trent housing scheme unveiled
Plans to build more than 600 houses and industrial buildings have been submitted to East Staffordshire Borough Council.
The proposed development to the south of Branston village, Burton-on-Trent, has been put forward by regeneration specialist St Modwen.
Proposals for the 280-acre site include the creation of up to 660 new homes plus manufacturing, storage and distribution units.
More than 170 acres of the site will be retained for open space and recreation, said St Modwen.
The company said it has also developed a "travel plan" for the site, including making improvements to public transport provisions.
Ian Romano, senior development surveyor for St Modwen, said: "More than 200 people attended a public consultation regarding our proposals for Branston. The feedback we received both at the event and via our website has proved invaluable in helping us to shape the planning application which has now been submitted.
"We are continuing to work closely with East Staffordshire Borough Council plus statutory consultees to deliver a scheme that will significantly benefit both Branston and the wider regional economy."
