4MATTERS ARISING
(i) 14/05383/FUL – West of Victoria Terrace, Shrewsbury, Shropshire
To note the appeal submitted to the Secretary of State against the decision by Shropshire Council to refuse planning permission for the erection of a single open market residential dwelling.Shrewsbury Town Council’s Objection at its meeting on 6 January 2015
Members object to this application which they consider as overdevelopment of the site which is not in-keeping with the street scene or area. Also, the proposed view from Victoria Terrace is unsightly for the overlooking residents.(ii) 14/05710/FUL – Gordana House, The Mount, Shrewsbury, SY3 8BH
To note the amendments received by Shropshire Council in relation to the mixed residential development of 13 dwellings to include the erection of 11 new build open market houses (following demolition of existing dwelling known as Oak House) and conversion and extension of existing dwelling know as White Lodge to provide 2 affordable apartments.Shrewsbury Town Council’s Objection at its meeting on 27 January 2015
The Town Council does not object to the principle of developing on this site but have some concerns with the proposals. Members questioned if using the existing access onto The Mount is suitable for serving 11 houses and safe given the busy nature of the road. They understand the White Lodge has historical interest and would urge the Conservation Officer to value it’s historic importance before it is demolished. Members identified that the footpath outside the development is too narrow to accommodate a pram or wheelchair and, with no footpath on the other side of the road, and would wish to see modifications to neighbouring footways an approval condition for this development.(iii) Community Right to Bid – Asset of Community Value
