Shropshire Council will not need to find hundreds more homes to add to its local plan despite the new government's drive to increase targets.The new Labour Government wants councils to provide an extra 1.5m homes over the course of the next parliament as part of a manifesto pledge to"get Britain building again".
It means the authority can stick with its proposal for 31,300 homes being built between 2016 and 2038 – along with the creation of 320 hectares of employment land. In a letter to the council last week the planning inspectors reviewing Shropshire Council's Local Plan, Louise Crosby and Elaine Worthington, said the authority can proceed without increasing its targets.
