Related topics: Community / Democracy

The following decisions were made by Shropshire Council’s Central planning committee at its meeting at Shirehall, Shrewsbury on Thursday 9 April 2015.

Land east of Bicton Lane, Bicton, Shrewsbury (14/02239/OUT)  Decision:

That planning permission be granted as per the officer’s recommendation, subject to:

  • A Section 106 Legal Agreement to secure the relevant affordable housing contribution;
  • The conditions set out in Appendix 1 to the report; and

At the Reserved Matters stage and, in order to create a safe and accessible development in the interests of public safety and protection, the police be consulted on layout.

Land off Horsebridge Road, Minsterley, Shrewsbury (14/03670/OUT) Decision:

That this application be deferred in order for the applicant to undertake further investigations into the adequacy of the sewerage system.

Development land adjacent to Oaklands, Holyhead Road, Montford Bridge, Shrewsbury (14/05742/OUT) Decision:

That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be refused for the following reasons:

  • The proposed development, by virtue of its location and scale would, in combination with current valid planning permissions and resolutions to grant permission for Montford Bridge, cumulatively result in development harmful to the rural character of the area and the nature of the settlement; and

As such, the adverse impacts of granting permission are considered to significantly and demonstrably outweigh any benefits when assessed against the policies in the National Planning Policy Framework taken as a whole, the aims and requirements of the emerging Site Allocation and Management Development Plan and policy MD3, and is therefore not considered to constitute sustainable development.
