Application Notes:
Members have concerns regarding this application, primarily regarding traffic. The current traffic flow through this area is already high and this would only add to it. There seems to be a lot of development in the Battlefield Area at present and due to this the traffic will only increase and cause additional problems for residents. Members therefore request to see comments from SC Highways. Members were also concerned about the risk of flooding as it is known that this area floods on a regular basis. They also had concerns about renewable energy for the development and the quality of the green space proposed as it appears to be on a drainage basin. Deferring our decision until further clarification/information is received. Following a reconsultation on 06.07.2021, Members discussed the comments that have now been provided and are in full support of all Consultee comments including those from Shropshire Council Highways. There is a high level of public concern with this application and Committee were in agreement that they would object to this application.
