The government has started a consultation on major changes to the National Planning Policy Framework.
As you may know, Hadnall Parish Council has been doing its best for many years to influence Shropshire Council's Local Plan, which is currently in the process of being prepared for adoption.
The new proposals from central government may have a significant impact on this, and are set to create major changes to planning matters both nationally and locally.
Attached is a letter from Cllr Simon Jones (Shropshire Council) regarding the proposals.
