Catesby Estates has revealed plans to build up to 1,200 homes on a 70-hectare green belt site at Home Farm near Sandhills on the Walsall-Lichfield border, just outside Walsall Wood. The development would also include a primary school, community centre and public open space.
The site currently comprises five agricultural fields, a wooded area and a farmhouse. It is owned by a single landowner and has been allocated for housing in the draft Walsall Local Borough Plan, where it represents the largest housing allocation in the document. The allocation was made by Reform.
An Environmental Impact Assessment for the scheme has been submitted to Walsall Council. This assessment will support an outline planning application for the development. If approved, the new housing estate would be accessed from Chester Road and Lichfield Road.
