Proposals
Our vision for Norton Canes
We are proposing a development of up to 420 new homes, helping to meet Cannock Chase’s growing housing demand by offering a range of options for first time buyers, families and those looking to downsize.
Beyond new homes, our vision prioritises the local environment and community. As part of the plans we will be investing in local infrastructure, such as education, healthcare, and roads, ensuring benefit for both new and existing residents. Additionally, we are committed to supporting local wildlife through the creation of new green spaces and habitat areas.

The site
Site location and masterplan
The site is located to the west of Hednesford Road, Norton Canes. Part of the site has been safeguarded for new homes in the emerging Local Plan. The remainder of the site sits within the Green Belt. Our commitment is to carefully design the development in a way that respects Norton Canes’ existing character, enhances the local environment and delivers a net gain in biodiversity.

About
Bloor Homes
Bloor Homes is a Midlands-based family run housebuilder. Our strong commitment to create homes that our customers are proud to own – and that we would love ourselves or family and friends to live in – is what has always driven us.
Last year, Bloor Homes was recognised as a five-star housebuilder for the sixth year in a row. This means that at least 90% of people who buy a Bloor home would recommend them to friends and family. Recent local developments include Norton Hall Meadow in Norton Canes.
