<p>Shropshire Council submitted its Site Allocations and Management of Development
Plan Document to the Secretary of State for examination on 1 August 2014, and its
assertion that it has a five year supply of deliverable land will be robustly tested
by the Planning Inspector. <br><br>Getting an up-to-date Local Plan in place, following
extensive engagement with local communities and which includes a five year supply
of housing sites, is the best way to protect an area from unplanned development whilst
meeting local housing needs.</p><p> </p><p>Where authorities are in the process of
preparing plans, they still need to demonstrate that they have in place a five year
supply of deliverable housing sites. Weight can be given to policies in emerging Local
Plans to the extent that they reflect policies in the National Planning Policy Framework.</p>
