Application for the designation of Shifnal Town/Parish as a neighbourhood area

Proposal

Notice is given that Shropshire Council has received from Shifnal 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 Shifnal 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 below, or at Shirehall, Abbey Foregate Shrewsbury during weekdays 8.30 am to 5pm or at the Town Council office in Shifnal.

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. Shifnal Town Council is in the earliest stages of considering a neighbourhood plan and this application seeks now to formalise the process.
