Present Cllr Mike Arthur (Chairman), Cllrs Phil Brooks, Eleanor Gilbert; David Nunn and Sue Peters. In attendance Anne Chalkley (Clerk/RFO); Shropshire Councillor Ed Potter. Shropshire Council Community Action Officer Mathew Mead. Local Police Officer Ross Cookson. Public: 8 67/17 TO ACCEPT APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE – Cllr Pearce (Another meeting). AGREED. 68/17 SHROPSHIRE COUNCIL PLANNING DEPARTMENT - Speaker Tim Rogers - Area Planning Manager – Tim thanked the Chair for the invite and will answer any questions to his best ability. He introduced himself and said he had been here some years before at a planning meeting. He was responsible for 30 planning officers and they had received 5000 planning applications which are a significant number. He understands that there are serious concerns with regards to the planning in this area. He said that they do not always get it right and he understands that the number of planning applications granted, 109 dwellings since 2012, in this area is well above the numbers quoted in the SAMDev policy of 30. There are a number of factors that determined the granting of permission for these dwellings. Shropshire Council has great difficulty refusing due to the National Planning Policy laid down by the Government. Once you grant permission for an outline planning application then this is set. Shropshire is well above what is required of them as they have more than five years’ housing land supply and they can refuse an application by using MD3.

  • An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: with a Catalogue of Artefacts
    An Archaeological Analysis of Anglo-Saxon Shropshire A.D. 600 – 1066: With a catalogue of artefacts By Esme Nadine Hookway A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of MRes Classics, Ancient History and Archaeology College of Arts and Law University of Birmingham March 2015 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract The Anglo-Saxon period spanned over 600 years, beginning in the fifth century with migrations into the Roman province of Britannia by peoples’ from the Continent, witnessing the arrival of Scandinavian raiders and settlers from the ninth century and ending with the Norman Conquest of a unified England in 1066. This was a period of immense cultural, political, economic and religious change. The archaeological evidence for this period is however sparse in comparison with the preceding Roman period and the following medieval period. This is particularly apparent in regions of western England, and our understanding of Shropshire, a county with a notable lack of Anglo-Saxon archaeological or historical evidence, remains obscure. This research aims to enhance our understanding of the Anglo-Saxon period in Shropshire by combining multiple sources of evidence, including the growing body of artefacts recorded by the Portable Antiquity Scheme, to produce an over-view of Shropshire during the Anglo-Saxon period.

The Golden Arrow © Gordon Dickens 1 Introduction Shropshire possesses one of the richest and most varied landscapes of any of the English counties. It offers a diverse range of scenery: from the lakes and rolling pasturelands around Ellesmere in the north, to the gaunt moorlands of the Clee Hills, with their stark industrial ruins, in the south; the densely wooded scarps of Wenlock Edge; or the straight, sandy lanes of the north-eastern heathlands, with their large arable fields and ‘big skys’.

The proposal was to create three Central Ammunition Depots (CADs) in easily-hewn and relatively horizontal rocks: one in the south (Monkton Farleigh); one in the north of England (Longtown, Cumbria); and one in the Midlands. While Monkton Farleigh came into operations in 1939, CAD Nesscliffe was only opened by the War Office in 1941. In order to service the extensive property, the War Office took over the virtually defunct Shropshire and Montgomeryshire Railway and built extensive additional service tracks along the 8¾ miles of railway line from Maesbrook to the former Ford and Crossgate railway station.
