appeal is in but THE FIGHT CONTINUES - SAVE OUR GREEN BELT
What is happening now?
Boningale Developments Ltd (previously Boningale Homes) have submitted an appeal against Shropshire Council's decision to refuse the application.
What are ADAG doing?
1) We have confirmed we are acting as a Rule 6 Party. ADAG have been granted formal, equal status alongside the developer and the council at the UK public inquiry, to be held in September, for this major planning appeal
2) We have instructed a LEGAL DEFENCE team to fight alongside us, and Shropshire Council, to defend their decision to refuse the planning application.
What can YOU do?
Send your comments to the Planning Inspector, click below - let them know why you DO NOT support Boningale Development's appeal against Shropshire Council's decision (to refuse the planning application)
1) Essential information to include
- Your Name/Address: Clearly state you are a local resident
- Clear Statement: "I wish to strongly object to this appeal…..''
2. Focus on Material Planning Considerations
Only mention relevant planning points. The inspector cannot consider non-planning issues; be specific and local to the issues, and the negative effect another 800 houses there would have on Albrighton. Use your local knowledge to describe why the development is harmful, especially if you have experience with local traffic, flooding, or wildlife.
Donate to our war chest
Please help us to raise the funds to pay for a barrister and planning consultants to go up against the developer's legal team

shropshire locAL PLAN, What is happening now? in a nutshell
Latest News
- Draft Local Plan Rejected: Shropshire's draft Local Plan was deemed "unsound" by the Government Planning Inspectorate in a letter which stated it was due to insufficient housing provisions.
- Plan Rejection Consequences: Shropshire Council formally withdrew its draft Local Plan (2016–2038) from examination in July 2025, halting its progression. The Council issued a "call for sites" which ran until October 2025; started a new Local Plan process in January 2026 under the new national system, with the expectation to adopt a new plan by 2028.
- ADAG's Position: The Albrighton Development Action Group (ADAG) supports the council's efforts and prompt "Call for Sites" to give ample time to identify locations that ensure sustainable development; locations that secure the best possible outcome for Albrighton and the wider county. Albrighton has already seen significant recent development, which totals 771 new houses approved to be built.
- Interim Strategy: While developing the new plan, the council will continue using the 2011 Core Strategy and 2015 Site Allocations and Management of Development (SAMDev) plan, alongside neighbourhood plans, as the basis for decisions.
