Land Off Red Barn Lane Longden Road Shrewsbury Shropshire	Erection of a single open market dwelling and detached garage.	Objection
Application Date:

Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this application on the following grounds: (i) Members are concerned that once again another application for development is being considered in this area adjacent to the Radbrook, one of the most beautiful and protected green spaces in the town, used by many for recreational and amenity value. We see that green corridors throughout the urban area of Shrewsbury are widely used by all and provide that calming green buffer in what is vastly becoming a concrete jungle. In developing this land, it renders the sustainability of the area in jeopardy. (ii) Members question the size of this property in its location and the building itself is considered a visible intrusion on people’s enjoyment of the area and also reduces the space available for wildlife. (iii) Due to the number of dwellings along this lane and its exit onto Longden Road so close to a bend, where already visibility is reduced, members feel that this development will place even further strain on the local highway and potentially render the area one of community concern. (iv) Members continue to raise concerns about the cumulative effect of such developments and the unwholesome precedence that such development causes and that in terms of sustainability, future developments will only render future generations enjoyment of this area severely compromised.
