Dana Steps The Dana Shrewsbury Shropshire	Provision of a DDA compliant access ramp between Castle Gates and the head of The Dana steps; all other works	Representation
Application Date:

Application Notes:
The Town Council is aware that there are two potential schemes to deliver the outcomes of DDA compliant access onto Castle Street and in considering this application it has been minded by the affordability, impact on the heritage setting and ongoing sustainability and maintenance including potential misuse (Skateboarder’s Heaven was mentioned). Never before has the committee had such differing views on the value or otherwise of an application and one that any consensus could be made or warranted the use of the Chairman’s casting vote. What members were in agreement with was that there needed to be further consideration on design, including use of materials, the need for lighting and reduction in harsh lines particularly on egress onto Castle Street. With this regard Members asked that this application be considered by the Central Planning Committee.
