28,000 homes plan could benefit Shropshire's rural landowners, says expert
Plans to build more than 28,000 new homes in Shropshire by 2036 will bring opportunities for rural areas, a development expert has said.
Paul Middleton said that although the housing figure would be quite a challenge to fulfil, it could prove to be a positive move for rural landowners.
The development forms part of Shropshire Council’s local plan review.
The council’s cabinet approved a consultation document last week, which will seek the views on the preferred scale and distribution of future developments across Shropshire.
The review includes building 28,750 homes across the county, while the consultation document also looks at employment growth.
