Address	Proposal	Shrewsbury Town Council Decision
Proposed Residential Development Site North Of London Road Shrewsbury	HYBRID application for mixed residential development: FULL application for the erection of 104 dwellings (including affordable dwellings), vehicular access from Weir Hill Road, estate roads, footpaths/cycleways, formation of public open space, remediation, landscaping scheme, all associated works; and, OUTLINE application for 32 Self-Build and Custom-Build Dwellings	Representation
Application Date:
2022-01-13
Application Notes:
The Town Council has no objections per se to this application and were supportive of the low carbon standards and the high number of 1 & 2 bedroomed properties proposed. Concerns were raised over the lack of active travel provision within the site plan and asked if it would be possible to provide a separate carriageway for cycling and walking on the estate. The infrastructure needs to be put in place correctly from the start of the development. Members would also like to see the speed limit reduced to 30mph from the Emstrey Island. A concern was also raised with regards to the public open space and if it is of adequate quality and how it would be managed.
