Planning Update from Save Our Shenstone Group – February 2021

Dear all

It’s been a while since we last emailed (and a lot has happened to our lives since we undertook that last consultation!) but just a note to advise you of the release of the Lichfield District Local Plan 2040 – draft submission

The Draft Local Plan due to be debated tomorrow (9th Feb) by Cabinet:

https://democracy.lichfielddc.gov.uk/documents/s9669/Item%203%20-%20Appendix%20A%20-%20Proposed%20Submission%20Plan.pdf

Key points Shenstone –

  • Total Committed Supply – 55 dwellings

  • Infill development and the re-use of brownfield land will be prioritised provided that this does not result in a loss of services and facilities which contribute to the function of the settlement as a larger service village.

  • Allocation for S1 – Lynn Lane, 50 dwellings (of the 55 Total Committed Supply)

Kind regards,

Robin & Richard
