Planning Applications in Highley – How to Have Your Say
7th October 2026

Highley Parish Council encourages all residents to review and comment on any planning application within the parish, regardless of size or location. Your representations help inform the statutory planning process carried out by Shropshire Council.

Submit comments directly to Shropshire Council:
Some applications are still open for public comment. To make a formal representation, you will need to register on the Shropshire Council Planning Portal:

Understanding the planning system:

Material vs Non‑Material Considerations:
The image attached explains the difference between material and non‑material considerations. Only material considerations can be taken into account when Shropshire Council determines an application. Comments based on non‑material considerations cannot influence the outcome.

Highley Parish Council remains neutral in all planning matters and does not decide applications. We simply encourage residents to stay informed and take part in the formal consultation process when applications are open for comment.
