PLANNING permission for homes and bungalows in Ellesmere Wharf have been submitted to Shropshire Council by Cornovii, it's in-house property firm.

The proposed Ellesmere Wharf development, with 23 properties, will offer a range of two, three and four-bedroom detached and semi-detached homes with one or two-bedroom bungalows.

Harpreet Rayet, managing director of Cornovii Developments Ltd, believes the development will add to the town's appeal as a place to live in Shropshire.

“The proposed development at Ellesmere Wharf will provide spacious, modern housing for the area and will help to enhance the opportunities available in the community," said Mr Rayet.

"As a Shropshire housing developer, we are committed to building sustainable homes across the county and improving the lives of the local residents.”

Eight homes on the development will be affordable housing for purchase or rent suitable for first-time buyers, including six bungalows suitable for those looking to downsize or reside in a single-story property.

Subject to planning approval, site construction will commence in Summer 2021, with anticipated completion set for Summer 2022.

This long-term derelict brownfield site will be utilised by Cornovii Developments Ltd to deliver what they say is 'much-needed' housing.

All homes will be built to a 'Nationally Described Space Standard', with easy access to the range of local amenities available in the Ellesmere town.

As its third development location, Ellesmere Wharf forms part of Cornovii Developments Ltd’s mission to address Shropshire’s housing shortage, with plans to develop up to 950 new homes across the county over the next five years.

Construction on the Frith Close development in Crowmoor, Shrewsbury, will commence in Winter 2020, while planning permission for 40 homes in Overton Road in St Martins near Oswestry was submitted in June 2020.
