BLOOR HOMES, SHAWBURY

Family-owned, five-star housebuilder, Bloor Homes, is preparing outline proposals for a sustainably-located development of high-quality homes and green infrastructure on land east of Wem Road, Shawbury.

The proposed development would include:

• Up to 120 high-quality homes, including family homes and properties suitable for down-sizers.
• 15% of the new homes will be provided as affordable housing, providing opportunities for those on lower incomes and first time buyers to secure a home of their own in Shawbury.
• A gas-free development with all homes built to be net zero carbon-ready, including air source heat pumps, solar panels, uprated insulation and EV charging infrastructure.
• A landscape-led approach to development, with the retention of existing trees and the majority of hedgerows, alongside extensive planting of new trees.
• The planting of a community orchard and areas for biodiversity.
• The creation of new green public open spaces, including children’s play areas, a new pump track for young people of all ages, and areas for natural play. 
• Vehicular, cycle and pedestrian access directly from Wem Road. 
• A network of new publicly accessible walking and cycling routes through landscaped open space. 
• Connectivity to the disused former school site to the north providing opportunities for the site’s reuse by Shropshire Council. 
• A sustainable drainage system (SuDS) to manage surface water and create new habitat areas. 
• Investment to support local infrastructure such as healthcare and education. 

Sustainable homes

The new homes at Shawbury will be a gas-free development, with new homes incorporating air source heat pumps, solar panels, uprated insulation and EV charging infrastructure. This will deliver a neighbourhood of Net Zero Carbon-ready homes.

Bloor Homes is a member of the Homes for Nature programme which will see the installation of nesting bricks or boxes in every new home and hedgehog highways between gardens.

Community consultation

We want to ensure that the proposals align as much as possible with the priorities and aspirations of the community in Shawbury.

Bloor Homes has created this website for members of the community to view the emerging plans and provide feedback.

We would like you to tell us your priorities and aspirations for new homes, open spaces and investment in community services to help shape the outline plans.

Online consultation

You can find out more details about the proposed new neighbourhood here. Once you have had an opportunity to read about the proposals, you can complete a short online feedback form here. You can also view an interactive map showing the proposed masterplan in the local context here.

Public drop-in exhibition

To complement our online consultation, we will also be presenting the information from this website at a consultation drop-in event. This will provide an opportunity for members of the community, including those who have limited access to the internet, to view the proposals, speak to members of the project team, and provide feedback.

The consultation event will take place as follows:

Date: Tuesday 16th December 2025
Venue: Shawbury Village Hall, Church Street, Shawbury, SY4 4NZ
Time: 3pm – 7pm
