Significant residential development is being proposed in Tasley over the next 10 years and the Tasley Neighbourhood Plan could influence how the following proposed developments are planned and built:
The Tasley Gateway, off Church Lane, is currently awaiting outline planning permission for a development that will ultimately consist of around 550 homes.
The draft Shropshire Local Plan, currently under examination by a Planning Inspector, includes provision for a Tasley Garden Village, a 1050 home development on the southern side of the A458 between the Ludlow Road traffic island and just beyond Footbridge House.
A Neighbourhood Plan for Tasley must reflect the views of those who live, work or use the facilities within the parish boundary whilst not contravening policies set out in the Shropshire Local Plan and National Planning Policy Framework.
Key elements of the Plan might be:
Ensure environmental factors and sustainability in the development of the area.
Contribute to a shared vision for the neighbourhood, including development and growth.
Plan better footpaths and introduce cycle paths, hopefully leading to a reduction in car use where appropriate.
Retain green spaces and greenfield sites.
Identify (with landowners’ consent) areas suitable for future development.
The Tasley Neighbourhood Plan, informed by the views of the local residents, is being drawn up by a Steering Group comprising local residents and councillors, and assisted by an independent planning consultant and officers from Shropshire Council.
The online survey following is designed to gather your views so they can be included in our Tasley Neighbourhood Plan and provide evidence to Shropshire Council and the Planning Inspector that the Steering Group has consulted and listened to you.

Survey Methodology
This survey was carried out on-line using Google Forms and in paper form between January 2nd and February 14th 2024.
Some responses were collected as online inputs prior to January 2nd for test purposes and are included in the data.
The survey was advertised by posting flyers to all households in Tasley, by newspapers (Shropshire Star and the Bridgnorth Journal), by social media (i.e. local facebook sites) and by word of mouth.
A drop in session was held in Tasley Village Hall on Saturday 20th January at which attendees could either fill in the survey online or take away a paper form.
The response data (both from the online survey and the paper format) have been downloaded or in the case of the paper forms entered directly into Google Sheets spreadsheets and the data summed for each question. The summations split the data into groups (i.e. Residents, Non-residents, Respondents that work or run a business in Tasley, and All Responses). The data is presented in tabular and chart form and where applicable the data is sorted high to low to rank the responses.
For some questions the survey asked for written comments, these are shown verbatim and have been summarised by identifying common phrases/themes and then assigning these common phrases/themes to the respondents text. The number of occurrences of the phrase/theme has been counted and shown in chart form ranked from high to low. Assigning the phrase/theme to the respondents text is a subjective process. It is therefore recommended that the verbatim text should be reviewed before drawing any conclusions.
Some respondents using the paper format failed to answer some of the questions and for some questions multiple responses were permitted, or submitted multiple responses where only one was required. These responses have been included in the totals such that the total number of responses are different for each question.
