PUBLIC SESSION
1
a) Questions from members of the public
b) UpdatefromtheCountyCouncillor
Shropshire Council continues to operate on a skeleton staff working out of Shirehall with most staff working from home, although the various Council committees have now gone back to meetings in person, albeit socially distanced, although the requirement for staff & members to have had a negative lateral flow test prior to coming into the Shirehall has now been dropped.
During August we lost, due to resignation, our Head of Planning Ian Kilby & we are currently looking for a replacement. The Council has now submitted its updated draft Local Plan to the Planning Inspectorate & we expect an inquiry to take place some time during early to mid 2022. In the meantime the Council is again facing challenges from developers over its 5 year land supply, developers arguing that, for example in the Clun Valley Catchment area, the land allocations in the Local Plan are effectively undeliverable due to the implications from the Dutch ‘Netherlands’ ruling regarding effluent run off into rivers.
This ruling, which still applies in the UK following the adoption of EU law into UK law following Brexit, means that planning applications for more than 10 homes are likely to automatically be refused, (eg: the current applications for 40+ homes on allocated sites in Clun & Bucknell), even on land allocated for housing in the local plan, due to the implications of this case, which require a significantly updated plan for effluent run off from Farms & Housing developments – such a plan involving Councils, the Environment Agency, Natural England & the NFU has not even been started in Shropshire, unlike in other authorities so, for the time being, (next couple of years at least I think!), we will be unlikely to see any major Housing development taking place, unless developers are able to succesfully argue with the Planning Inspectorate that, as a consequence of this, we don’t have a deliverable 5 yr land supply in Shropshire – as this will then lead to the policies within the Local Plan falling away & those within the National Planning Policy Framework taking preference, which are much more lax than those within our local plan and would be likely, in my opinion, to lead to another ‘free for all’ in terms of planning applications such as happened in Shifnall a few years ago with very large housing developments going in against the wishes of the local community on sites not identified in the Local Plan as suitable for housing. Our local MP Philip Dunne has now become involved with this issue & meetings are being arranged with all parties involved to try to see how we can recover this situation in Shropshire.
On Highways, we have yet to see the fine detail on the new Portfolio Holder for Highways Steve Charmleys plans to inject up to £163M into the roads network over the next 4 years. It would seem to me and other local members however, that the progress made to deal with some of the appalling road conditions in rural areas during June & July has stopped happening. I have challenged Cllr Charmley on this & he has replied that they have, of late, been focusing on urban Shrewsbury!!
The NWRR is ploughing ahead, despite the over 5,000 objections received during public consultation, the administration telling us that 4,000 of those were from people outside Shropshire? – I don’t yet know if this is correct, work is going on within opposition parties to check this, as for example some people living in Shropshire have Post Codes in Wales etc – Apparently some

£7M has been shaved off the cost by building a smaller bridge over the river than originally planned.
At the Shropshire Council meeting next week I have asked a question relating to the glacial progress made in providing EV charge points across Shropshire, unlike other neighbouring authorities who are much further ahead of us – Herefordshire & Powys for example – In Shrewsbury, despite central government funding avaliable to Councils, we don’t have any EV points in Council car parks within the River Loop nor any in our Park & ride carparks & there is only 1 EV point in the Council car park in Ludlow & that was provided by the Highways Agency. Given that in 2030 we will no longer be able to purchase new Petrol & Diesel vehicles this is far too slow!
INFORMATION FROM THE MINUTES
