Land To The South West Of Kingsland Bridge Shrewsbury Shropshire	Erection of statue to mark the start/finish of the Shropshire Way long distance footpath	Representation
Application Date:
2020-04-17
Application Notes:
The Town Council agrees in principle, but wishes to defer for further information on land ownership and maintenance issues as outlined below. Whilst the Town Council is generally supportive of measures to increase tourism and awareness of local landmarks, Members have the following concerns: • There are no measurements given in the plans for the sculpture, and the Town Council would like to be satisfied that, if granted, the size of the sculpture is not intrusive in the Kingsland Bridge Conservation Area. • Members would like reassurances over ownership of the land where the sculpture is to be sited. • Members have concerns about future maintenance issues for the sculpture and would like reassurances that this is conditioned with any planning permission that may be granted. • Members have concerns that Certificate B does not seem to have been filled in adequately. This is a very important legal requirement and should be raised with the case officer, viz. the date the certificate was served. Failure to do this properly nullifies the application.
