    Permission for five new homes in Stafford granted

    Monday, 7 October 2024 07:00

    Staffordshire County Council has secured permission for up to five new homes to be built in Stafford - that's despite concerns for the safety of children walking to a nearby school. 

    The land off The Rise in Walton on the Hill is currently used as an informal footpath, providing a walking route from Selworthy Drive to Walton High School.

    Planning permission was previously granted for five new homes on the land in 2009, but the development never happened. 

    A fresh application seeking permission for five homes has been approved by borough councillors.
