Plans for 1,000 homes 'flies in the face' of PM's pledge not to 'concrete over the countryside'
A Shropshire councillor says the county council's plans to build more than 1,000 homes on agricultural land near Bridgnorth goes against Rishi Sunak's pledge that he won't 'concrete over the countryside'.
Councillor Robert Tindall quit the Conservative Party in 2021 over Shropshire Council's Local Plan after the authority revealed it wanted to build 1,050 homes at Tasley.
The new Tasley Garden Village has been partly designed to satisfy unmet housing need in the neighbouring Black Country authority.
The council plans to build 30,800 homes up to 2038, including a contribution of 1,500 for councils in the Black Country.
Morville Parish Council, near to where the homes are being planned, says Shropshire Council's housing proposals will 'be seriously destructive' for the area.
