Objectives and Ambitions

 

Objective:
To meet the increasing demand for new housing by creating a sustainable community with a clear identity and sense of place which both enhances and respects the local character of the area.

 

The expansion of Lawley will meet the increasing demand for new housing by creating a sustainable community with a clear character and sense of place. It will establish a safe, healthy and inclusive environment that will meet the needs of existing and future generations. A series of walkable neighbourhoods will have a flexible range and choice of dwellings, work, retail and leisure facilities that respect the surrounding landscape and reflect the best local examples of buildings and space. Lawley Drive will be transformed from a through–route to a boulevard that will enhance Lawley as a gateway to both Telford and Ironbridge and continue a reduction in the current impact of traffic in the area. The new street pattern will incorporate a well–connected network of streets with a better provision of public transport and will connect with cycle routes, footpaths, bridleways that will offer greater choice of movement.
