DBA Estates' plans for 34 homes on land to the North of Watts Drive in Shifnal were due to be considered by Shropshire Council's southern planning committee tomorrow - Tuesday, November 24.

The authority's planning officers had recommended that councillors on the committee vote to refuse the proposal.

But it has now emerged that the developers behind the scheme have withdrawn the plan before it is considered by committee.
