Pre-Submission Draft

Shropshire Council is publishing the Pre-Submission Draft version of the SAMDev Plan.  This has followed several stages of consultation over the past four years. 

The SAMDev Plan sets out proposals for the use of land and policies to guide future development in Shropshire up to 2026. It covers the whole of the administrative area of Shropshire Council (excludes Telford & Wrekin).

Representations are now invited on the ‘soundness’ of the SAMDev Plan for a six week period between 12noon on Monday 17 March and 5pm on Monday 28 April 2014.  

Following this the SAMDev Plan and all the representations made on the Plan will be submitted to the Secretary of State for examination by an Independent Planning Inspector later in 2014.

Making Representations on the SAMDev Plan

Representations can be made during the publication period which begins at 12noon on 17 March 2014 and ends at 5pm on 28 April 2014. Representations received after this time will not be considered ‘duly made’.

The use of the representation form is strongly recommended as this will ensure that comments are related to matters relevant to the subsequent examination by a Planning Inspector.

Before making a representation we recommend you read our guidance on how to make a representation.

All responses will be publicly available and cannot be treated as confidential, although address, telephone and email details will not be published.

You can submit representations to Shropshire Council in a number of ways:

Email it to:  planning.policy@shropshire.gov.uk
(It is recommended you download the paper format and email once completed if you choose this option)

Post it to:
Planning Policy
Shropshire Council
Shirehall
Abbey Foregate
Shrewsbury
SY2 6ND

Responses received by e-mail will be acknowledged.

Representations may be accompanied by a request to be notified at a specified e-mail address of any of the following:

1. When the SAMDev Plan has been submitted for independent examination
2. When the Inspectors Report of the SAMDev Plan is published
3. Adoption of the SAMDev Plan

Data Protection Act 1998 and Freedom of Information Act 2000:

Representations cannot be treated in confidence.  Regulation 22 of gthe Town and Country Planning (Local Planning) (England) Regulations 2012 requires copies of all representations to be made publically availavle.  The Council will place all the representations and the names of those who made them on its website, but will not publish personal information such as telephone numbers, emails or private addresses.  By submitting a representation on the Pre-Submission SAMDev Plan you confirm that you agree to this.
