Campaigners in Market Drayton were claiming victory after the first of three linked planning applications to expand a business park was refused.

Developers Healey Estates planned to build three affordable homes on a parcel of land north of Buntingsdale Road, but Shropshire Council’s planning department threw out the scheme over fears that the “verdant nature” of the Tern Valley would be compromised by the development.

The small-scale residential application is part of a linked scheme which would also see an extension to nearby Tern Valley Business Park – with local residents forming a campaign group to fight off the plans, which would develop on an area of green space known locally as Damson Wood Walk. “It is therefore concluded that there would be unacceptable visual and landscape impacts on the surrounding high quality local landscape.

Two concurrent applications, for the business park extension and for the designation of a formal community woodland on the banks of the River Tern, remain in consultation with the planning authority.
