Controversial plans to build six homes near Oswestry rejected
Controversial plans to build six homes near Oswestry have been rejected.
Planning officer Mark Perry said the detached homes on land adjacent to North Drive in Park Hall would “significantly exceed” Shropshire Council’s housing guideline.
The hamlet has planning permission for 27 new homes which are currently being built.
Mr Perry continued: “Despite the site being in between two set of housing developments it is classed as an open countryside for planning policy purposes.
“This is a location where market housing provision is not supported in principle by the adopted development plan policies and where it is considered that there are no social, economic and environmental benefits specific to the development which will outweigh either the harm to the plan-led system and housing strategy for the area.
