Residents fume over plans for new ‘penis-shaped’ housing estate with one saying rude design is ‘as absurd as plans’
RESIDENTS fear being shafted by a proposed new housing estate that looks like a willy.
They said local infrastructure will not cope with the phallic-shaped 250-home development.
If plans are approved, the estate will include 635 private and 97 on-street car parking spaces, along with parking close to a nearby junction.
There will also be a cycle and pedestrian route.
One said the rude design — for a greenfield site at Telford, Shrops — was “as absurd as the plans themselves”.
Another added: “I can’t believe somebody didn’t look at that [design] and snigger, because we’ve all cottoned on.”
Resident Jane Wheeler, 45, said: “Aside from the ridiculous shape of the estate, it’s yet another area of green being bulldozed for houses.
“If it gets built, lots of people will have to drive many miles to take their dogs for walks.
“The area is also home to some lovely wildlife.”
The council will decide.
