Construction Trends in South Staffordshire
Wombourne has seen a wave of new housing approvals, including 121 homes from Lovell Homes on Pool House Road, now under construction, and 41 homes from Bellway on Orton Lane. In Codsall, a Richborough scheme proposes at least 85 homes next to the train station, while Taylor Wimpey has detailed plans for 180 homes on Sandy Lane and Watery Lane. The council's housing target has been revised down during its Local Plan process, though new sites continue to come forward across both villages. Away from these sites, established villages keep a steady flow of extensions and loft conversions.
