- Land size
- 0.98 acres
Description
Permission in Principle was granted for the development of between 5 and 8 dwellings, by Shropshire Council, in January 2026. The housing layout plan presented is purely indicative and does not have formal approval at this stage, technical details consent will need to be obtained to confirm the extent and scale of the development and potential purchasers should satisfy themselves in respect of the planning requirements. Further details can be found on the Shropshire Council planning portal ref. (25/04551/PIP).
The site as a whole totals 0.98 Acres (0.40 Ha).
The hamlet of Wollerton is situated within close proximity of the thriving village of Hodnet, which offers a wide range of amenities, and close to the A53, A41 and A49 trunk roads. The larger towns of Market Drayton, Telford and Shrewsbury are easily accessible. However, in spite of its convenience to conurbations the village retains a strong rural feel and the site has the benefit of an open outlook over farmland to the rear.
