A fresh consultation has been launched into Shropshire Council's delayed Local Plan.
The Local Plan, which would cover the county until 2038, sets out all the locations where houses and commercial developments can be built.
The issue has also been the subject of legal threats from lawyers acting for The Bradford Estates, which wants to build up to 3,000 homes on green belt land to the west of Tong – a proposal the council decided not to include in the local plan. As a result Shropshire Council has now complied with the inspectors' request to update some of its key documents to clarify the position – ahead of hearings which will decide whether the plan is approved.
