The has been quite alot of toing and froing over this BT Telephone Exchange site in Gordon Road but the Council has designated it for residential development. The developer is Telereal Trillium and their plan is for a two phase development:
- Redevelopment of Rome House and the adjacent car park for up to 155 flats
- Redevelopment of Castle House into new terraced housing along Gordon Road and 3 new residential blocks of up to 166 new flats
- Use of the existing access on Gordon Road
- Generous communal and private amenity space including children’s playspace
The developer is holding an exhibition of their plans at the Drayton Court Hotel on Thursday 5th February 2-8pm. They want to hear people’s views on their plans. There will be feedback forms at the exhibition or you can comment online

This development will deliver more new homes than the net increase in new homes at Green Man Lane Estate. Talk in recent years was for this site to be used for new Primary School. One wonders where young children living in these new homes will go to school. No doubt by 2020 the expanded Drayton Green Primary and the new St John’s Primary will both be full.
