Planning Applications in
Shropshire

Shropshire is part of the West Midlands region. Search any postcode in Shropshire to see recent planning applications near you — including extensions, new builds, demolitions, and change of use applications.

It has handled planning for the former Bridgnorth District Council, North Shropshire District Council, Oswestry Borough Council, Shrewsbury and Atcham Borough Council and South Shropshire District Council areas since 2009, so older applications may still be referenced under those names. The authority covers Shrewsbury, Oswestry, Bridgnorth and Ludlow and the surrounding parishes.

What PlanWatch Is Tracking in Shropshire

PlanWatch currently holds 3,098 Shropshire planning records across 1,635 unique postcode locations, with tracked application dates from 2026-02-20 to 2026-10-27. The most common categories in this dataset are Full (1,384), Householder (484), Conditions (483).

Use this page to start with a postcode search, then open the official council record for the decision notice, drawings, consultation deadline and any later conditions. That matters because a short application description rarely shows the details neighbours and buyers care about: side windows, roof forms, access, drainage, tree works, opening hours or amended plans.

Check approved drawings

Match drawing numbers and revision letters before relying on a plan.

Read conditions

Find conditions that control privacy, noise, drainage, materials or timing.

Objecting to a Planning Application in Shropshire

Shropshire Council can only weigh objections that raise a material planning consideration. Personal disputes, loss of a view and property value are not material and are set aside. These are the grounds that do count, with what Shropshire's planning officers will expect you to evidence for each.

gavel Overlooking and loss of privacy gavel Loss of light or overshadowing gavel Noise and disturbance gavel Traffic and parking gavel Overbearing impact and scale gavel Character of the area gavel Drainage and flooding gavel Loss of trees

Then write the objection letter, or check what counts as a material consideration before you start. Objections normally have to reach Shropshire Council inside the 21-day consultation window.
