A new traveller site is set to be created for a family from north Shropshire under plans expected to be approved next week
Shropshire Council planning officers have now said the change of use of the land, off Platt Lane, should be approved – but the final decision rests with councillors on the northern planning committee. It was on this grounds that the parish council objected, saying: “Because this application is for the construction of a permanent structure with associated services, the Parish Council views this application as being no different to an application to build a house in this location.”
The council’s gypsy and traveller liaison officer said: “The family are model tenants and hard-working, they are always friendly and polite and keep their pitch clean and tidy. The planning officer’s report says the site, while in the open countryside, is considered to be within a reasonable distance of local services.
