Wild, 12 members of the public Clerk: Mrs. R. Turner APM 1/18 Welcome The chair welcomed all present. APM 2/18 Apologies for absence None. APM 3/18 Minutes of parish meeting held on 9th May 2017 It was resolved to approve the minutes and they were duly signed by the Chairman. APM 4/18 Matters arising None. APM 5/18 Parish Council Report The past year has been dominated by Shropshire Council’s decision to undertake a Local Plan Review. This is likely to have a significant effect on housing development in Cressage over the next five years and beyond. Cressage now designated as an area of Open Countryside and is likely to become a Community Hub. There is a considerable amount of detailed information relating to this on Shropshire Council’s website. As part of this review the planning department will consult with both residents and parish council undertake site visits and advise on a development boundary and appropriate housing needs. An initial consultation period was established and this ended earlier this year. Details of designated hubs will be announced later this year. The parish council has been engaged in two fronts regarding this consultation. Firstly, three of our members have been working on the 2018 Parish Plan. Their final task was to publish an Action Plan. This has been adopted by the parish council. The required actions relating to housing and development are now part of a planning strategy we will continue to pursue.

  • Advisory Visit Cound Brook, Shropshire June 2020
    Advisory Visit Cound Brook, Shropshire June 2020 Author: Tim Jacklin ([email protected], tel. 07876 525457) 1.0 Introduction This report is the output of a site visit undertaken by Tim Jacklin of the Wild Trout Trust to the Cound Brook at Eaton Mascott Estate, Shropshire, on 10th June 2020. Comments in this report are based on observations during the site visit and discussions with the landowner. Normal convention is applied with respect to bank identification, i.e. left bank (LB) or right bank (RB) whilst looking downstream. Upstream and downstream references are often abbreviated to u/s and d/s, respectively, for convenience. The Ordnance Survey National Grid Reference system is used for identifying specific locations. 2.0 Catchment / Fishery Overview The section of the Cound Brook visited is located approximately 4km upstream of its confluence with the River Severn between Atcham and Cressage, south of Shrewsbury. A section of both the Cound Brook and its tributary the Row Brook were inspected upstream of their confluence. The geology of the area is sedimentary bedrock (Salop Formation – mudstone and sandstone, formed approximately 272 to 310 million years ago in the Permian and Carboniferous Periods1), with superficial deposits of river alluvium and glacial till. Soils in the vicinity are sandy and easily eroded. Combined with potato and maize cultivation, this tends to lead to excessive levels of fine sediment reaching the watercourses. In order to meet the requirements of the Water Framework Directive, the Environment Agency monitor the quality of watercourses using a number of measured parameters including plant, algae, invertebrate and fish populations, along with physical and chemical measures.

  • Land at Harley Road, Cressage, Shropshire
    Shropshire Local Plan – Regulation 19 consultation Settlement Policy S13.2 Community Hubs: Much Wenlock Place Plan Area with respect to Cressage and allocation CES005 Muller Property Group agree the Plan is 'sound' in relation to the designation of Cressage as a Community Hub, which they consider to be a highly sustainable rural village. Cressage lies on the A458, which is identified in paragraph 3.26 of the Local Plan as a strategic corridor. The village's identification as a Community Hub is entirely consistent with the Local Plan's overall strategy. Cressage is sustainably located with good road links to Shrewsbury, Telford, Much Wenlock and Bridgnorth. There are significant employment opportunities, services and facilities within a 10km radius as shown in the map below. Figure 1: Cressage’s location relative to larger settlements Cressage's services and facilities achieve a score of 50 in the Council's 'Hierarchy of Settlements' Paper (August 2020). The Council's 'Hierarchy of Settlements' Paper (August 2020) identifies a good range of services in Cressage including a primary school, pre-school, regular public transport to Shrewsbury and Bridgnorth a GP surgery, pharmacist, convenience store, church 1 , village hall, library, children's playground, playing field and super fast broadband. 1 The church at Cresage is part of an active group of churches that rotate services in various church buildings including Cound, Stanton Long, Hughley and Much Wenlcok, see https://www.wenlockchurches.co.uk/welcome.htm. The building is only the tip of the iceberg in terms of activities organised by the local church team of parishes, which positively contributes to the social sustainability of Cressage.

  • 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.

  • Strategic Site – Ironbridge Power Station
    Strategic Site – Ironbridge Power Station Location 1 Summary of Settlement Study Area and Location Introduction The former Ironbridge Power Station is a Strategic Site in the Shropshire Pre-Submission Draft Local Plan (2020). The study area boundary as defined within this Green Infrastructure Strategy is 1km from the defined site limits. The study area partially overlaps Broseley (Key Centre) in the south east and is approximately 1.2km north east of the Much Wenlock (Key Centre) study area. Part of the area extends into Telford and Wrekin Local Authority Area. Assets within this area are considered, but no opportunities or recommendations have been identified in areas outside Shropshire. The former Ironbridge Power Station site is located on the banks of the River Severn, south of the village of Buildwas. It is a 140ha partly brownfield site including former Power Station infrastructure and redundant ancillary facilities including a social club, golf course, sports pitches and Grade 3 agricultural land. The power station ceased operation in 2015 and demolition of the site began in 2019, in preparation for redevelopment. This pro-forma should be reviewed alongside the pro-forma for Broseley to understand strategic linkages between the Ironbridge Strategic Site and the neighbouring settlement. Development Context Emerging proposals for the site involve a mixed-use development including around 1,000 dwellings, around 6 hectares of employment land and the provision of local services and facilities within a village centre. Buildwas Abbey Scheduled Ancient Monument Tick Wood and Benthall Edge SSSI and Ancient Woodland The Severn Way Long Distance Footpath Shropshire Way Long Distance Footpath 2 Existing Green Infrastructure Assets and Key Constraints 3 Existing Green Infrastructure Assets and Constraints Theme Existing Green Infrastructure Assets / Constraints Biodiversity: Designated Sites ◼ Nationally designated SSSIs include Tick Wood and Benthall Edge.
