Church Stretton and surrounding area

Church Stretton, situated on the A49 midway between Ludlow and Shrewsbury, is in the heart of the Stretton Hills Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). The town is popular with walkers and families who visit the surrounding hills and valleys.

For up-to-date area profile and census information, please take a look at our Church Stretton profile.

Place plans were developed to include a main centre (often a market town) and its surrounding smaller towns, villages and rural hinterland. These areas are recognised in the local plan as functioning geographical areas, with strong linkages to and from the main town and the wider area.

The Church Stretton and Surrounding Area Place Plan covers the area identified on the map on this page. It summarises and prioritises the local infrastructure needs which are required to support the sustainable development of the area, and identifies the wider investment needs to assist delivery of the community’s vision and aspirations.

Data and information review

The infrastructure project list is based on information submitted to us by town and parish councils in each place plan area. This information is then tested against data held by us, and further informed by consultation with a range of infrastructure providers.

By gathering this information, we've been able to understand more clearly the needs of each place plan area and use this information to make some difficult decisions about prioritisation of projects.
