Each PPA will be unique and tailored to the requirements which should be discussed during a concept meeting. Applicants/agents for schemes requiring a planning performance agreement should contact the relevant area office - for schemes in the north (includes Shrewsbury) please send an email to planning.northern@shropshire.gov.uk and for schemes in the south to planning.southern@shropshire.gov.uk with 'Request for PPA' in the title.
