Up to 620 homes planned for land near golf club
GooglePlans to build up to 620 homes on farmland next to a golf club have been submitted.
The development would be built off Whitmore Road on the edge of Newcastle-under-Lyme, Staffordshire, adjacent to Newcastle Golf Club.
The planning application, submitted by Richborough, also includes proposals for a country park, public open space, a play area and allotments.
Work on the first phase of a new link road between the A53 and A525 would also form part of the scheme.
A statement with the plans lodged with Newcastle-under-Lyme Borough Council said the area had faced a "significant" shortfall in housing land supply.
The homes would be a mixture of one, two, three, four and five-bedroom properties, it added.
About 30 per cent of them would be affordable, which the applicant said would make a "substantial contribution to existing affordable housing needs".
