Application Date:
2023-08-24
Application Notes:
The Town Council object to this application. The area is already congested by parked vehicles on double yellow lines/pavements and residents are already experiencing difficulties in gaining access to and from Abbey Foregate. Adding another residential dwelling in the area would only add to the current problems. Members agree with the concerns raised by the Conservation Officer on the proposed alterations in that they would not preserve or enhance the Conservation Area. This is a very characterful building and adds to the local historic vernacular. The Town Council fully support the comments raised by Shropshire Fire & Rescue regarding escape arrangements and regardless of the outcome the applicant needs to address these concerns as a matter of urgency.
