Address	Proposal	Shrewsbury Town Council Decision
78 Longden Road Shrewsbury SY3 7HW	Loft conversion including erection of rear facing dormer and insertion of front facing rooflights	Objection
Application Date:

Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this Planning Application. Whilst Members are not averse to residents improving their properties, they have expressed concerns that the proposed rear dormer window is considerably large and disproportionate to the existing premises. Members respectfully request that the proposals be revised to incorporate a traditional pitched roof in line with the recommendations made by Shropshire Council’s Conservation Officer. Members have also expressed concerns that should permission be granted, this will set an unwelcome precedent for neighbouring properties to add equally large dormer windows, thereby creating an unwelcome cumulative effect on the edge of the Kingsland Special Character Area of the Shrewsbury Conservation Area.
