7.15 acres opposite the Nesscliffe Hotel of which 2.14 acres (see full details) achieved planning consent Ref: 12/00821/ OUT, 13/02901/REM & 16/00670/REM) in 2014 for 10 dwellings. This site is allocated within Shropshire Council Development Plan which is due for adoption to run from 2016-2038. A further 0.84 acres (see full details) was subject to an outline planning application 14/03787/OUT for the erection of 6 No dwellings 2014. The application included an agreement from the applicant to provide a financial contribution towards the local needs affordable housing, and whilst there was a resolution to grant no decision notice has been served as the S106 agreement was never progressed. As such the application has laid dormant with the local planning authority. Given the changes made in both National and Local Planning policy since the resolution to grant, it is the view of the local planning authority that any progress with a S106 would require the application to be taken back to planning committee and considered against current policy, including the five year housing land supply.
