PLANS to build a new hangar at a north Shropshire airfield have been submitted to Shropshire Council.

The application, from Justin Griffiths at Sleap Airfield in Harmer Hill, near Wem, is for the construction of a new aircraft hangar at Bilmarsh Farm to Airfield Farm.

The plans are for the building to be constructed on the site of a former hangar, which is around 280 square metres, and an application form was submitted by bosses at the airfield.
