A retrospective planning application has been lodged with Shropshire Council that would see a stables and horse paddock near Wem used as a gypsy and traveller site. 

The 0.4-acre site is located off the B4756 east of Wem, around 6 miles from Whitchurch.

The application, submitted by MAT Design Limited on behalf of Mr D Rogerson, states the applicant is looking to find "a settled place to live" amid health concerns attached to family members.
