Address	Proposal	Shrewsbury Town Council Decision
4 Chestnut Close Shrewsbury Shropshire SY3 8UJ	Erection of single storey and two storey extensions, alterations and improvements to existing dwelling and driveway	Objection
Application Date:
2020-07-10
Application Notes:
Whilst the Town Council does not object to this planning application, Members have expressed concerns in relation to the mature Oak tree in the back garden. To ensure that this established tree is protected, Members respectfully request that Shropshire Council’s Tree Officer visits the site and provides expert assessment and recommendations regarding the Oak Tree. The extension is two storey and is on the boundary of next door causing loss of light and a massing effect that will overshadow the house next door. No other extension in the area is two storey on the boundary. Following a re-consultation on 19.08.2020, The Town Council notes the revised plans for this property and Members wish to maintain their objection to this planning application and also raise the following concerns: - Members feel that this extension is a significant over development of the site. - The extension appears to go to the boundary and Members feel that this will have a detrimental effect on neighbouring properties. - Members feel that there is no precedent for two storey extensions to the boundary within this area of Shrewsbury.
