    Shropshire Local Plan Review: Consultation on Preferred Sites November 2018 20. Wem Place Plan Area 20.1. The Wem Place Plan Area is located in north-east Shropshire. The Place Plan area contains the Key Centre of Wem and numerous small villages and hamlets. Settlement Type Settlement Name Key Centre: Wem • Clive Community Hubs: • Hadnall • Shawbury • Harmer Hill Community • Grinshill Clusters: • Edstaston, Quina Brook, Northwood, Newtown, Tilley and Aston 20.2. If your village is not included in the list of proposed Community Hubs or Community Clusters above, then this means that it will be ‘countryside’ for planning policy purposes, where new development is strictly controlled in accordance with national and local planning policies. 203 Shropshire Local Plan Review: Consultation on Preferred Sites November 2018 Key Centre: Wem Development Strategy 20.3. Wem has been identified as a Key Centre and contributes towards the strategic growth objectives in the north-east of the County. 20.4. The Local Plan Review will seek to achieve balanced housing and employment growth within Wem through the provision of around 600 dwellings and around 6 hectares of employment development between 2016 and 2036. 20.5. In the first year of the Local Plan Review period 64 dwellings were completed, with a further 231 dwellings committed through planning permission, prior approval or allocation. The SAMDev also identified 4 hectares of employment land on land off Shawbury Road which remains a commitment. Therefore, the Local Plan Review will need to identify suitable opportunities for the delivery of around a further 305 dwellings and 2 hectares of employment land on allocated sites and/or windfall development.
