Planning
This part of website is currently under construction.
We have included some useful resources below in the meantime.
Planning is one of the most important ways we can control, shape and protect our environment, and if you want to influence how your community grows, the best time to get involved is at the earliest stages of the development process, when sites are being allocated by the Local Authority for different uses and when neighbourhood plans are being created.
Parish Councils have a vital role to play in this and will be consulted, so there is greater potential to influence decisions if you play an active role in your parish council.
​
CPRE is not anti-development, but against the wrong development in the wrong place.

Help with planning applications
Please note that CPRE Shropshire is a charity and we rely on volunteers to carry out most of our planning activities. For this reason we are not always able to get involved in individual planning applications, although we will give help and guidance whenever we can to enable you to make your own response to a planning application.
