Change of use from B1 to D1 (place of worship and day care centre).
Decision: Approved, subject to S106/legal agreement to secure additional parking provision – in accordance with the officer’s recommendations.
33 Kennedy Road, Shrewsbury – 13/00156/FUL
Conversion of existing School buildings into 6 apartments with associated parking, after demolition of existing buildings, and addition of 2 homes with garaging.
Decision: Approved, subject to S106 agreement to secure affordable housing provision on site, and an affordable housing contribution – in accordance with the officer’s recommendations.
Retail Unit Adjacent Minsterley Garage, Station Road, Minsterley – 13/00987/COU
Change of use from B1 (Office) to A5 (hot food takeaway).
Decision: Refused – contrary to the officer’s recommendations for the following reasons:
It is considered that the proposed change of use is likely to generate significant activity and vehicle movements at sensitive times of the day. As a result, given that there is no clear evidence that the limited parking on site will be available to customers of the proposed takeaway, it is considered that the proposal would be highly likely to have an adverse impact on the amenity of neighbouring residential properties and on highway safety, as the lack of parking provision on the site to meet the demand could potentially lead to inappropriate parking on residential streets, on the A488, and in the bus stop lay-by adjacent to the premises. Consequently it is considered that the proposal fails to accord with the requirements of adopted and saved Policy CS6 of the Shropshire Core Strategy.
Besford House, 42 Trinity Street, Shrewsbury – 13/01313/FUL
Conversion of existing building to form 2No dwellings (to include some demolition); erection of 9No dwellings; formation of parking areas and estate road; remedial works to trees.
