5 - 6 Claremont Street Shrewsbury Shropshire SY1 1QG	Change of use from A1 (retail) to A4 (pub/restaurant) to include elevational alterations and formation of first floor terraced balcony	Objection
Application Date:

Application Notes:
Shrewsbury Town Council objects to the application on the following grounds: * Members are aware that this premises is in close proximity to residential properties as well as neighbouring premises that have recently been granted permission for residential conversion at first floor level. Members are concerned about the noise nuisance caused by the live music till 1am and 2am. * The development of an open-air balcony at first floor level fronting onto the street elevation is inappropriate on two levels; (i) the impact on the streetscene and the loss of block lines along the stretch of buildings, and (ii) the anticipated anti-social behaviour it would cause i.e. items being dropped onto the street level. Members do not object to this premises being used as a restaurant or bar but would like to see consideration be given to the people living nearby.
