Keepmoat Homes is behind the proposed development for land at the rear of Magdalen Road, between Hem Heath and Blurton.

A full planning application has been submitted to the city council after a public consultation was carried out in October.

The proposed housing estate, which includes public open space and a 'local area of play, comprises eight one-bed, 22 two-bed, 88 three-bed, and four four-bed homes in total.

This would be provided by a mix of detached, semidetached, and terraced homes.

The proposals come after previous plans to build up to 119 new homes on the land - lodged before the covid pandemic - had been scrapped.

Bellway Homes West Midlands had been behind the plans to construct the housing estate.
