(iii) 16/00941/FUL – Lucroft Hotel, Castle Gates, Shrewsbury, SY1 2AD – Change of Use of guest rooms to a house of multiple occupancy (short hold tenancies) “sui generis” use (amended description)
To re-examine the application in the light of amended plans received.
Meeting – 15.03.2016 – STC Decision – Defer
The Town Council is unable to determine the details of this application from the information provided and would respectfully request that more particulars are available to enable members to consider these proposals in full. Members have concerns in respect of the number of units to be created in the property and what type of occupancy the business is hoping to secure.
(iv) 16/00960/FUL – 20 Frankwell, Shrewsbury, SY3 8JY – Erection of single storey extension to rear of shop premises

To re-examine the application in the light of additional information received.
Meeting 05.04.2016 – Support with Comment
Whilst the Town Council is generally supportive of this application, members have concerns that the whole site is being promoted as “open market housing” and would like to see the developers include provision for social housing of up to 15% of the total number of properties for the development.
(vi) 15/05091/FUL – Land Adj 38 Longden Road, Shrewsbury, Shropshire – Erection of two residential dwellings; formation of driveway
To re-examine the application in the light of amended plans received.
Meeting 15.12.2015 – STC Decision – Objection
The Town Council has objected to the previous applications for this land as they feel that any development would encroach onto a rare green corridor in Shrewsbury, which they feel should be preserved for the benefit of both the residents and the wildlife in the area. Members are adamant that the green spaces within Shrewsbury should be protected and preserved without question and they have concerns that the proposals will have a negative visual impact to the detriment of a variety of people who use the area as an outdoor recreation space. The development will set a precedence of urban creep into the Rad Valley and an erosion of valuable green space. Shrewsbury Town Council objects to this application.
Meeting 23/02/2016 – STC Decision – Objection
The Town Council has considered the updated plans for this application and in the light of few obvious changes to the details, members feel that their objections remained as previously stated.Attachments:
