Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this application on the following grounds: * Being mindful of the fact that the Nursing Home is set in a prominent location within the Meole Brace Conservation Area, the style chosen neither enhances nor preserves the area. * The building is of particular historical importance and the Council regards the link building is of an unsympathetic design within its context and is not in-keeping with the existing building and its historical context. * Members consider the proposed extensions overdevelopment of the site and the overlooking windows impact on the privacy of the neighbouring properties. * Increasing the capacity of the Nursing Home will exacerbate the current traffic problems particularly congestion around the narrow streets of Church Road. * Members request that it be investigated as to whether the planning conditions set by Shropshire Council within previous applications have been met; particularly conditions regarding scale of the facility and bed numbers, extraction from the laundry and treatment of sewage. * The Town Council requests that the Central Planning Committee consider this application.
