A housing development which could unlock a village’s chance to have a railway station again for the first time since the 1960s has been recommended for refusal.
The former station, known as Station House, is now in private hands
And hundreds turned out in support of the plan at a meeting at The Corbet School in the summer, with North Shropshire MP Helen Morgan describing this as a “now or never” chance to bring a train station back to the area. A report prepared by Tracy Darke, the council’s assistant director of economy and place, said: “The site is not located within a defined development boundary and neither is it an allocated site for residential development.“The location of the proposed development is therefore contrary to the policies of the Core Strategy and the Council’s SAMDev plan which is the starting point for decision making in accordance with the National Planning Policy Framework.
There were more than 10 objectors to the proposal, with people raising concerns including heavy traffic on Station Road, Baschurch becoming overcrowded and the new train station issue being “manipulated to stir up enthusiasm” for the development.
