Seeing is believing, and the master plan for Ironstone reflects a visionary approach by IDG, Homes and Communities Agency and Telford and Wrekin Borough Council.
Ironstone’s innovative use of stewardship and emphasis on architectural design is expected to become a blueprint for future sustainable communities and the scheme is one of the foremost examples of partnership developments in the UK.
