Shropshire Council’s planning policy team has launched the ‘Preferred Sites’ consultation, which runs to Thursday 31 January 2019. During this time there will be a number of public meetings, open to all, throughout the county, where the Local Plan process and local development proposals will be explained, and there will be the opportunity to highlight issues specific concerns and suggest alternatives to the preferred approach set out in the consultation document. Please come along and have your say on how your community is shaped for the future.

The Much Wenlock place plan area meeting will be held on Thursday 3 January 2019 at Priory Hall, Much Wenlock – 7pm start.

The Preferred Sites consultation document outlines a housing policy direction to improve the delivery of local housing needs and establishes development guidelines and development boundaries for Shrewsbury, the principal and key centres, and each proposed Community Hub. It sets out the preferred sites to deliver the preferred scale and distribution of housing and employment growth during the period 2016 to 2036.
