Plans for 27 social homes in Rowley Regis look set for approval
Plans are set to be approved for 27 social homes in a Rowley Regis neighbourhood.
Developers want to build the homes on land at the corner of Maer Close and Reservoir Road.
The land was formerly home to two high-rise flats which were knocked down 25 years ago.
The proposed homes would be compromised of 19 two-bedroom homes and eight four-bedroom homes.
The designs would be a mix of two-storey, semi-detached and detached housing.
A planning report said: "The site formally accommodated two local authority high rise blocks which were demolished some 25 years ago.
"The site is ‘bowl shaped’ and slopes from west to east. It is largely grass and scrub with trees around the perimeter, with greater tree coverage to a grassy embankment to the north.
"Eight of the dwellings would be accessed from Maer Close, while the remainder would be situated along a new cul-de-sac accessible from Reservoir Road, opposite the junction of Enfield Road."
The plans have been recommended for approval by Sandwell Council.
