It was confirmed that planning inspectors examining Shropshire Council's local plan had abruptly cancelled scheduled hearings on the proposals at the end of October.
In a letter explaining the move they said the decision had been taken over 'serious soundness concerns' about the plan.
Hearings into the plan only resumed last month. However, planning inspectors Louise Crosby and Elaine Worthington were so concerned about the state of Shropshire's of the proposal that they have stopped proceedings entirely.
They have given no timescale for a resumption in the process, saying only that they aim to set their concerns out in detail "as soon as possible".
