But while campaigners have celebrated the latest delay for the project, which was originally intended for a planning decision in late 2021, a fresh issue has also emerged. It comes after minutes say the LEP asked Shropshire Council to separate, or 'decouple', the projects last year. This came despite the council's own leader, Councillor Lezley Picton, saying she expected it to be considered before the Summer Holidays, and both the March Local Enterprise Partnership and the Environment Agency being under the impression the scheme was being considered on July 18.
A spokesman for the Marches LEP said:"We are aware of the latest delays regarding this scheme and are monitoring the situation closely.
