Tannery East Barker Street Shrewsbury SY1 1QJ	Change of use from 61 units of student accommodation to 60 units of supported living accommodation for the homeless comprising of 60 ensuite studio bedrooms with shared communal kitchens and siting rooms, associated office and erection of 2.1m high security fencing and smoking shelter (sui generis use)	No Objection
Application Date:
2024-10-10
Application Notes:
The Town Council positively supports a suite of units to support individuals who find themselves homeless, thus making use of the potentially redundant units following the withdrawal of the university. However, members question whether there is a need for bigger units to potentially support families in crises and whether this could provide an opportunity for some refit to accommodate this.
