They have given Shropshire Council until August 5 to respond.

Protestors attended the hearings which took place last month

It is a project Shropshire Council has rejected, but a decision that is being challenged by The Bradford Estates, which is behind the scheme. Under government rules councils have a ‘duty to co-operate’ with neighbouring authorities, to help them find space for housing which they are unable to do themselves.

As part of the evidence being considered by the inquiry Walsall Council has specifically voiced its call for Shropshire Council to make space for another 3,000 homes in the county – on the Bradford Estates land. Lawyers representing ABCA, and the Bradford Estates, challenged Shropshire Council’s allocation for homes under the duty to co-operate rules during the hearings last month.
