A proposal by Wrekin Housing Trust for the redevelopment of Dothill has approved by Telford & Wrekin Council.

The development of Dothill in Wellington will see the demolition of 90 flats, to be replaced with 59 new homes including two, three and four bedroom houses, three bedroom maisonettes and two bedroom flats. The flats are designed to be modern and contemporary. Parking will be fully catered for, located to be accessible to the homes. All the houses will feature gardens, residents in the flats will have ‘private’ communal garden spaces.

The Trust held an information evening to keep local residents informed of the proposals. Members of the Trust’s development team attended, with the architects, to welcome residents’ questions and explain the plans. 100 residents attended.

Development manager for the Trust, Jean Teichman, said: “The development will improve the quality of the housing provision in the area. The homes will be built to achieve the Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4 and will provide local people with modern, affordable homes in an attractive environment. We are looking forward to moving forward with the development.”

Specialists appointed to work with the Trust on the project include ecologists, wildlife experts and arboriculturists to ensure the landscaping is sympathetic to the overall surroundings and maximises views over Dothill pool and the surrounding parkland.
