Planning

Consent 25/04842/DIS (25/04842/DIS ) discharged the drainage condition. The treatment plant has been installed. Shropshire Council has subsequently confirmed that the consent has been activated.
The Plans provided to us for the replacement house refer to 1296 sq ft of accommodation on the ground floor and 1029 sq ft on the first floor (Gross internal areas.)
Class Q Approval for two further dwellings
Shropshire Council granted approval for two dwellings under Class Q Planning reference 25/02127/PMBPA (25/02127/PMBPA ) on 31st July 2025 subject to conditions.

The plans allow for spacious accommodation with three bedrooms in each dwelling.
