Former Public Conveniences St Julians Friars Shrewsbury Shropshire	Conversion of dis-used public toilets to fast food takeaway	No Objection
Application Date:
2019-12-13
Application Notes:
Whilst the Town Council does not object to the principle of the re-development of this building per se, Members object to this application on the following grounds: * Members fully support the comments made by Shropshire Council's Conservation Officer in relation to the proposals to internally brick up two of the existing windows and lower the sills as per the plans, which would result in a lack of symmetry to the building. This is a very sensitive area in terms of its architectural vernacular and developers in the area have been conscious in preserving and enhancing the area. Members acknowledge this is not a pretty building, but proposals makes it worse. * Members expressed concerns that this building is in a flood zone and support the comments made by Shropshire Council's SUDS; * Members fully support the comments made by Shropshire Council's Regulatory Services and would like to see further details in relation to the proposed extraction flues; * Members also expressed concern that whilst there is an adjacent car park, there will be issues with customers parking as close to the premises as possible; * Members also felt that there is the potential for problems with littering, odour and noise for the neighbouring residential properties; * Members would like to see revised plans submitted that enhance the building in the Shrewsbury Conservation Area. Following the Planning Committee meeting held on 20.02.2020, members considered the amendments to this planning application and were satisfied that some of their original concerns, especially in relation to the proposed windows, had been addressed with the revised plans. Members noted that Shropshire Council's Conservation Officer supports the amendments and were happy to withdraw their objections to this application. The Town Council removes its objections to this application.
