Plans submitted for the Former Phoenix School Site, Manor Road
Nuplace is excited to announce its involvement in this ambitious scheme on the site of the former Phoenix School in Dawley, which will see the delivery of 212, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom homes, retirement living apartments and bungalows, across a range of tenures as set out below:
- 87 affordable homes available through Housing Plus (previously known as Wrekin Housing Group)
- 74 homes for sale through Lovell
- 51 privately rented homes through Nuplace Ltd (the Council’s wholly owned housing company).
The scheme will provide high quality accommodation for local families as their needs change over time with Nuplace’s private rent offering comprising of 2, 3 and 4 bedroom homes, built to Nationally Described Space Standards with spacious rooms and built in storage.
All dwellings will be thermally efficient and use a combination of Air Source Heat Pumps and PVs to ensure low carbon targets are achieved alongside reduced running costs to tenants, with a dedicated EV charger provided as standard.
Homes across the scheme will be complemented by:
- A new play facility at the heart of the development, with equipment selected to inspire intergenerational play.
- Community allotments to the north of the scheme, to be managed by Dawley Allotment Society.
- Extensive green spaces with a focus on habitat creation, protection and biodiversity with native planting and sustainable drainage in place to connect nearby green spaces to help plants and animals thrive.
- Improved access to public transport with a new bus stop to be located centrally to the scheme.
Following a public consultation towards the end of 2024, a planning application has now been submitted on behalf of Telford & Wrekin Council with a decision on the application expected in Autumn 2025. If approved, work on site will start later in 2025.
