Notice is given that Shropshire Council has received from Market Drayton Town Council an application under Regulation 5 of the Neighbourhood Planning (General) Regulations 2012 for the council to designate the area comprising the civil parish of Market Drayton and surrounding areas as a “neighbourhood area” within the meaning of section 61 G of the 1990 Town and Country Planning Act (see explanatory note below). 

A copy of the application and a map of the area can be viewed on this page, at Shirehall, Abbey Foregate Shrewsbury during weekdays 8.30 am to 5pm, or at the town council office in Market Drayton.

Note

Following the Introduction of the Localism Act 2011, the purpose of designating a neighbourhood area is for a neighbourhood plan to then be prepared for that area. Market Drayton Town Council is in the earliest stages of considering a neighbourhood plan and this application seeks now to formalise the process.
