Proposed Residential Development At Battlefield Road Shrewsbury Shropshire SY1 4AQ	Outline application (to include means of access) for residential development of up to 41No. dwellings	Representation
Application Date:
2019-09-04
Application Notes:
This application has been considered alongside application 19/03905, given the proximity to access arrangements onto Battlefield Road. Members have concerns about the cumulative impact of a significant number of car movements from these two development sites onto an already stressed part of the road network in Shrewsbury. Additionally, members have raised concerns about the peace meal layout of open space within this development site and the lack of connectivity to the recent development Persimmon site adjacent. The Shrewsbury Big Town Plan places strong emphasis on the connectivity of green networks within adjacent developments. Whilst only in outline, this application does not address the need for good quality play on site and given the indicative layout it is not clear that sufficient space can be given over to ensure any new residents are adversely affected by play being too near properties. The Council extends an invitation to the Applicant/Agent to present its proposals to a future Planning Committee.
