Proposals have been developed by Shropshire Council and its preferred contractor, PaveAways Ltd, to enhance primary school provision at Haughmond Federation, and we would like to know what you think.

Shropshire Council is investing £8.44million to create a new flagship facility in Featherbed Lane, which will allow Sundorne Infant School and Nursery to move from its existing home on Corndon Crescent and relocate on to the same site as Harlescott Junior School, enabling the Haughmond Federation to consolidate its infant and junior provision on a single site. Both schools will also increase in size to meet local demand for additional primary school places.

The development has been designed to have minimum impact on the surrounding neighbourhood, while also considering the environmental impact to Shropshire and the teaching environment for the teachers and pupils.

The development comprises a new multi-purpose hall, a new kitchen, associated office accommodation for both Harlescott Junior School and Sundorne Infant School and Nursery, toilets and storage rooms, internal remodelling and associated external works.

Public Consultation

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we can only consult at a distance, so the proposals will be available to view online from today until Wednesday 7 October. All of the information is available to view, download and print below.

The consultation will allow the council, the school and the design team to understand any concerns people may have, and to hear your views. The planning application will be lodged in mid-October; Shropshire Council will then hold a statutory planning consultation so you will have another chance to have your say then.

Telephone Consultation and Live Chat

In addition to hosting the consultation online, we will be holding telephone consultation opportunities on the following days:

Wednesday 23 September, 10am-1pm and 2pm-5pm
Wednesday 30 September, 1pm-5pm and 6pm-8pm
Monday 5 October, 10am-4pm.

There is no need to schedule a time to discuss the proposals; just call 0333 200 2609. Calls to 0333 numbers cost no more than a national rate call to a local 01 or 02 numbers. Calls may also be included within inclusive minutes and phone package minute bundles in the same way as 01 and 02 calls.

You can also chat to us using our Live Chat function (you should see it in the bottom right hand corner of your screen); just look for this symbol
Live chat will be available during the same days and time periods above.

You can also get in touch with us any time; simply send a message through the Contact Us page and we'll get back to you as soon as possible and within 24 working hours (Monday to Friday). If your query is urgent, please say so on the message and we'll be in touch as soon as possible.
