Controversial plans to expand business park into beloved woodland refused after kickback from residents

Controversial plans to expand a business park in Market Drayton and create a new "community woodland" have been rejected after coming under fire from residents.The application was part of wider plans to expand the business park and build three homes on part of the land adjacent, known locally as Damson Wood.

The developers argued that with a change of use from private land to public, the proposal"would provide a secure long-term option for the provision of open space in this part of Market Drayton". But local residents kicked back at the plans, and arguing that the 'new' woodland would come at the expense of the well-used beauty spot - Damson Wood.

"The idea of providing a managed recreation area on ground that is already much appreciated by local people as an entirely natural recreation area is disingenuous," argued resident John Hargreaves, who was one of 132 residents to object to the plans for the woodland.3
