Please note: The Parish Council is a statutory consultee in the planning process but is not responsible for making decisions. 

Upton Magna Parish Council has a Planning Committee that will respond to planning applications that fall between Parish Council meetings. To view the terms of reference for this committee, please visit our Policies & Procedures page on this website. 

Full details of planning applications can be viewed by going to Shropshire Council's Planning Register.

For more information on how to respond to planning applications, visit the Planning Portal. 

Please Note :

In commenting on planning applications, it is important that the Parish Council considers the following issues:

• consistency with the development plan for the area
• traffic and highway safety issues
• overlooking loss of privacy and loss of light
• scale of the development
• design, appearance, layout and material
• loss of important open space or physical features
• noise, disturbance or smells
• local knowledge of drainage or other possible problems with the surface
• impact on the surroundings

Issues that are not relevant include:

• effect on the value of the property
• loss of view over other people's land
• possible future development not included in the application
• private property rights such as a boundary or access disputes
• matters covered by other laws
• the morals or motives of the developer

Special rules apply for listed buildings, conservation areas, tress (some are protected by Tree Protection Orders).
