Address	Proposal	Shrewsbury Town Council Decision
Proposed Residential Development Land West Of, White House Gardens Shrewsbury	Demolition of existing garages and the construction of a 10-bedroom HMO with a detached garage and associated landscaping	Objection
Application Date:
2024-11-07
Application Notes:
The Town Council is supportive of local concerns about the impact of this property both during construction and whilst it operates as a HMO. There appears to be no detail on construction methods, including construction hours of operation and regimes for keeping routes clear and clean. Additionally, members wish to better understand the management arrangements for the HMO prior to making a decision. Following the meeting on 10.12.24, the Town Council objects to this application given the level of detail in this application both in terms of construction and likely use and impact on the wider community. This is a significant sized HMO which could have serious implications on the community, therefore future management arrangements needs to be forthcoming to reassure the community. Members also question the cumulative impact in the area particularly around parking and vehicular movement and given the wider need to promote walking and cycling we would expect to see the provision of cycle storage on site. Bin collection arrangements also need to be considered. Members would also wish to have sight of the Construction Method Statement and traffic flows to/from the site.
