Address	Proposal	Shrewsbury Town Council Decision

Application Date:
2019-08-06
Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this planning application on the following grounds: • Members feel that these proposals are an over-development of a relatively modest corner plot on an open-plan estate; • Members expressed concerns that extending the habitable property in to the roof space sets a dangerous precedent on this estate, where existing properties are traditionally comprised of a ground floor and first floor accommodation; • In light of extending the property upwards, Members feel that the pitch of the roofline will need to be altered to accommodate the additional space in the roof, which will have a detrimental effect on the street scene for neighbouring properties At the meeting held on 08.10.2019 members considered the amended plans for this proposed development and felt that whilst their concerns relate to the habitable development of the roof space have been addressed, they reiterated their view that the new property constitutes an over-development of a modest plot of land. Members expressed concerns that the existing street scene would be changed for the neighbouring properties and that the residential amenity value for the proposed property would be adversely affected. The Town Council objects to this application on the grounds that it constitutes an over-development of a relatively modest plot on an open-plan estate and will alter the existing street scene for other properties in the vicinity. Members also expressed concerns in respect of the adverse effect on the residential amenity value of the proposed new property and the existing property next door.
