Following a re-consultation on 19.08.2020, Whilst the Town Council does not object to new housing stock within the town, Members object to this planning application on the following grounds: • Members are happy to see this building brought back in to use, but wish to see a design that is more sympathetic and in-keeping with the neighbouring properties in the Meole Brace Conservation Area. • Members have also expressed concerns in relation to the introduction of a car port, the number of rooflights in the plans and would like to see additional details in support of the comments made by Shropshire Council’s Conservation Officer. • Members would like to see details within the plans that allows cars to access and egress the property in a forward gear. • Members have expressed concerns over the potential damage to the significant trees on this site and would like to see suitable measures implemented in the proposals to protect the existing trees at the property. Further information was provided to Members from the Case Officer (by email) on 25.11.2020 - Members have considered the comments received from the Conservation Officer, SC Highways and SC Tree Officer in regards to this application, and are happy with the revisions made. The Town Council withdraw their original objection to this application.
