Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this Planning Application with Members expressing concern that these revised proposals will increase the width and scale of the approved premises. Members feel that the increase in glazing, together with a projecting glazed balcony at the rear, will have a detrimental impact on the Conservation Area and the amenity of the area, and that these proposals are not in-keeping with adjacent properties. Members feel that there is a need to minimise the impact of the premises in relation to the character and appearance of the Shrewsbury Conservation Area. Following a re-consultation on 30.11.21, Members reconsidered the application in light of changes made by the applicant. Members felt that the applicant had failed to understand the concern around impact the proposed building has on the vistas looking up to the rear of the property from the banks of the River Severn. The added use of glazing to the extant planning permission creates a very stark impact on that green space. Council therefore wishes that its existing comments stand and maintain their objection.
