Review of Shropshire's green belt 'possible' if Black Country can't meet housing needs

Pressure continues to grow from housebuilders and landowners to review the plan.

That admission was made at a continuing examination of the county's draft local plan where Shropshire Council continued to hold the line that such a review is not necessary - yet - but the pressure continues to grow from housebuilders and landowners.

Shropshire Council last carried out a full Green Belt Review in November 2018. It was the first time Shropshire Council had assessed the Green Belt since the unitary authority was formed in 2009, and only the second time the Shropshire Green Belt has been reviewed since it was first designated in 1975.

Shropshire Council says it has put aside enough land to cope with development pressures up into the 2050s. Hugh Richards, a council barrister, said there is"no reason to consider any more Green Belt release or safeguarding." Mr West said they are having to plan for development in Bridgnorth partly because Telford & Wrekin Council has not accepted a release of Green Belt.
