Planning inspectors have rejected Shropshire Council’s request to remove the issue of gipsy and traveller accommodation from its local plan.
The comments came in response to a council letter outlining what it proposed to do to address concerns and questions from the inspectors over its local plan, which is currently undergoing examination.
But Shropshire Council responded, expressing “disappointment” at the inspectors, adding: “We continue to be of the firm view that the council’s evidence on this matter is both up-to-date and proportionate.” But now the inspectors have responded, saying they have ‘carefully considered’ the council’s position.
“It is therefore not possible to determine whether the plan will provide a sufficient supply of sites.”
