Decision:
That members were minded to refuse planning permission against the Officer’s recommendation for the following reason:
1. The proposal was considered to be a large scale development that would create an unacceptable adverse environmental impact; the proposal was an inappropriate scale, context and character that did not protect, restore, conserve or enhance the local built and historic environment; and the works to the highway would adversely impact on the character and distinctiveness of the local area, and was therefore contrary to Policy CS5, CS6 and CS17 of Shropshire Council’s Core Strategy.
A further report would therefore be considered at a future meeting of this Committee in accordance with Shropshire Council’s Constitution.

Decision: That planning permission be refusedagainst the Officer’s recommendation.
1. Taking into account the local context and character, the layout and design of the proposed site would create a cramped form of development and should be evenly spread across the site, there was insufficient provision of street lighting, garages and bin storage areas which was considered to be out of character with the surrounding area and would adversely affect the amenities of the future residents and wider area. As such the proposal is contrary to Policy CS6 of Shropshire Council’s Core Strategy.
