Shrop. CC Planning Policy.

Dear Sir or Madam,

Shropshire Council Site Allocations and Management of Development Plan (SAMDev) Plan:

Pre-Submission Draft (Final Plan) consultation from 17 March to 28 April 2014

Shropshire Council has published the Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) Plan Pre-Submission Draft in order for representations to be made prior to its submission to the Secretary of State. Once submitted the representations made will be considered alongside the published SAMDev Plan by a Planning Inspector as part of the examination stage.

The SAMDev Plan Pre-Submission Draft has been produced following several stages of consultation over the past four years and consideration of the comprehensive evidence base. The SAMDev Plan sets out proposals for the use of land and policies to guide future development in Shropshire up to 2026 to help achieve the Vision and Objectives of the adopted Shropshire Core Strategy. It sets out development priorities for the Market Towns and Key Centres, the Community Hubs and Community Clusters, and sets out further detailed policies for the management of new development across Shropshire.

Representations on the SAMDev Plan:

Representations are invited on the ‘soundness’ of the SAMDev Plan. Representations can be made during the publication period which begins at 12.00pm on 17 March 2014 and ends at 5.00pm 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. The representation form, and guidance on how to make a representation, can be downloaded from the Council’s website at www.shropshire.gov.uk/samdev where an online version of the form is also available for use. All responses will be publicly available and cannot be treated as confidential, although address, telephone and email details will not be published.
