The Portfolio Holder for Planning and Regulatory Services presented a report from the Director of Place and Enterprise seeking approval for the publication of a revised version of the Council’s Local Development Scheme and to provide a summary of the feedback received from the recent consultation on Issues and Strategic Options for the Shropshire Local Plan review.  He stressed that the timescales for the process needed to be adhered to and added that the consultation responses would soon be published on the Council’s website.

It was noted that, pending the adoption of the reviewed Local Plan, the strength of the current Local Plan remained undiminished and remained in force.
