Sounds like good news - however having just spoken to one of the Bridgnorth District Councillors (my father) I can confirm that Bridgnorth District Council do not share the views of Telford & Wrekin Council and that in all likelihood they will vote against it on the basis of the field being too close to Shifnal - the same council also voted in favour of halting the activities of the small Microlight strip at Shaw Lane just outside Shifnal earlier this year for similar reasons.
In the same conversation it also cropped up that Wolverhampton have approached the council (not sure if they have actually put in an application) with regard to lengthening 34/16 at the 34 threshold end by closing the small country lane that runs alongside the airfield and buying up the small triangular field on the other side of the lane. Needless to say Bridgnorth Council is not in favour of that either, although in this case they are not the planning authority (it falls under South Staffs DC).
I do try to put some pressure on my father, who is also keen on aircraft to support these things and to educate other council members but understand that his remit extends to representing the views of the majority - particularly those living in the Claverley area, which I believe he does fairly and irrespective of his own views.
