We Support The Mount’s Local Green Space!

We the undersigned want to protect the last remaining green space on the Mount from the threat of housing development and we support the application for its designation as a Local Green Space because of:

  • The beauty and historical value of its landscape;
  • Its importance to the views from the popular Severn Way.

This Petition is being organised in support of the Application by the Mount Resident’s Group to have the land opposite the Mount’s Local Garage declared a Local Green Space.  This land is the subject of a planning application for 20 houses, and declaring it as a Local Green Space seems the only way to protect it.   It would not have been allowed to be developed under the old local plan or the new local plan (yet to be adopted) and it is protected as part of the Mount Conservation area.  However, due to national planing policy, local planning considerations have no weight because Shropshire Council have not allocated enough land for housing development.

Please do add comments about the significance of the site as well as your signature.   Thank you!
