Consultation into the Site Allocations and Management of development (SAMdev) Preferrd Options Plan.
The key purpose of the SAMdev Preferred Options document is to:
- Identify sustainable growth targets for Shropshire's market towns
- Identify Community Hubs and Community Clusters in the rural area
- Where needed, identify appropriate sites for future housing and employment development in market towns, community hubs and community clusters
- Provide additional Development Management policies which can be used in the consideration of planning applications
