Muller Property Group, in partnership with the Hereford Diocese Board of Finance, is pleased to announce the sale of a residential development opportunity at Land off Harley Road, Cressage, near Shrewsbury, Shropshire.

The freehold site extends to approximately 6.01 acres (2.4 hectares) and is being marketed by Carter Jonas. An outline planning application for up to 60 new homes has been submitted to Shropshire Council and has been recommended for approval.

Located on the southern edge of the popular village of Cressage, the site occupies a highly sustainable position between established residential development and open countryside. The village benefits from a range of local amenities including a primary school, nursery, convenience store, GP surgery, village hall and social club, whilst Shrewsbury and the wider West Midlands are easily accessible via the A458.

The site comprises a broadly level parcel of pastureland and presents an attractive opportunity for housebuilders to deliver a high-quality residential development in a sought-after Shropshire location. The proposed scheme includes up to 60 dwellings, with a minimum of 20% affordable housing, alongside public open space, improved site access, a new pedestrian crossing and highway enhancements.

The outline planning application (Ref: 25/03043/OUT) was submitted in August 2025 and forms part of Muller Property Group’s continued commitment to bringing forward sustainable residential developments that help meet local housing needs while creating lasting benefits for communities.

Julie Doherty at Muller Property Group said:

“We are delighted to bring this exciting development opportunity to the market. Cressage is a thriving and well-connected village with strong demand for new homes, and this site represents an excellent opportunity for a developer to deliver a high-quality residential scheme in a sustainable location. The proposed development will provide a mix of new homes, including affordable housing, together with important infrastructure and public open space that will benefit both future residents and the wider community.”

The site is being offered for sale by informal tender. Supporting planning, legal and technical information is available to interested parties through a data room.
