A village near Shrewsbury is set to embark on drawing up its own plan for how the area should be developed in the coming years
Shropshire Council's cabinet will be asked to approve the move.
The plan will build on Shropshire Council’s new local plan, which is currently under government examination. It says: “Council officers have had early discussions with representatives from Longden Parish Council, specifically to discuss the extent of the proposal and to further understand the rationale for the area proposed.
“While the exact scope and remit of the neighbourhood plan is to be discussed, at this stage it is clear there is an understanding from the parish council as to the general role of the neighbourhood plan and the type of policies it is likely to introduce.”
