Have Your Say

As part of the early development of the Core Strategy we have prepared a series of Topic Papers on a range of important planning issues. We now want to hear your views on these Topic Papers.

        

Archived Shrewsbury and Atcham Local Development Framework

From 1st April 2009 Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council will be replaced by a Unitary Council for Shropshire. Consequently work on the Borough Local Development Framework has ceased.
