Regulation 19: Pre-submission draft of the Shropshire Local Plan consultation

Shropshire Council published the Regulation 19: Pre-Submission Draft of the Shropshire Local Plan and its supporting documents on 18 December 2020 in order to invite representations from all parties on its soundness, legal compliance and compliance with the duty-to-cooperate. Representations were invited by 5pm on Friday 26 February 2021 (the representation period was extended in response to lockdown restrictions).

The Regulation 19: Pre-Submission Draft of the Shropshire Local Plan represents an advanced and fully formed version of the Local Plan. It identifies a vision and framework for the future development of Shropshire to 2038; addresses needs and opportunities in relation to housing, the local economy, community facilities and infrastructure; and seeks to safeguard the environment, enable adaptation to climate change and helps to secure high-quality and accessible design. It contains:

  • Draft strategic policies which set the priorities and framework for the Local Plan
  • Draft ‘strategic’ implementation policies and more ‘detailed’ draft policies for managing development.
  • Draft settlement policies which provide draft strategies and draft guidelines for the settlements of Shropshire, including where appropriate identifying draft proposed site allocations.
  • Draft strategic settlement and draft strategic site policies which identify these draft proposed sites and provide draft strategies and draft guidelines for their development.

Respondents included local residents, businesses, town and parish councils, neighbouring local authorities, statutory consultees and a range of other organisations.
