Monkmoor Trading Estate Monkmoor Road Shrewsbury SY2 5TZ	Sub-division of ground floor retail to form 5 class ‘E’ units and creation of 14no residential apartments on first floor	Objection
Application Date:
2021-09-08
Application Notes:
The Town Council objects to this Planning Application on the following grounds: • Members have noted that there is a reduction in the number of flats in the revised proposals, but feel that this application remains an over-development of the site. • Members feel that removing part of the roof structure for this non-designated heritage asset to create an open space for the residential properties will have a detrimental impact on the historical wooden Belfast trusses. It is also felt that this proposal will have an impact on the integrity of the whole roof structure. • Members feel that with an abundance of commercial property in the area, the retail units may remain vacant, and that this speculative development will struggle to find suitable commercial tenants. • Members also feel that the proposed landscaping is insufficient for the location. • It is felt that additional traffic will create added problems for local residents along an already busy main road. • Members feel that there is insufficient parking provision for this development. • Members respectfully request that this Planning Application be submitted to Shropshire Council’s Northern Planning Committee.
