Related topics: Community / Democracy

The following decisions were made by Shropshire Council’s Central planning committee at its meeting at Shirehall, Shrewsbury on Thursday 16 July 2015.

  • Land adjacent to Holcroft Way, Cross Houses, Shrewsbury (15/00539/OUT)Outline application for residential development to include means of access.  Decision: 

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

    • The conditions as set out in Appendix 1 to the report; and

    A Section 106 Legal Agreement to secure the relevant affordable housing contribution at the prevailing rate at the time of the application for Reserved Matters, and the provision of an improved and enlarged roundabout on the A458.

  • Proposed residential development land off Gorse Lane, Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury (14/00989/OUT) Outline application (all matters reserved) for the erection of 5 dwellings with garages.  Decision: 

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

    The site has not been identified as a site for residential development within the emerging SAMDev Plan and, in view of the stage the plan has now reached, significant weight can be given to this. The potential benefits that housing would bring are acknowledged and given weight but it is not considered that these benefits, or any other material considerations, would outweigh the emerging plan; the policy support for a plan led approach or the harm caused by the intrusion into open countryside contrary to the environmental role of sustainability. As such the development of the site would be contrary to saved Policy HS3 of the SABC Local Plan, Policies CS1, CS4 and CS5 of the Core Strategy, policies S8.2, S16.2(ii), MD1 and MD3 of the SAMDev Plan and the NPPF.

  • Proposed residential development to the south of Cross Lane, Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury (15/01107/FUL) Erection of 2 no. dwellings and extension to an existing private drive.   Decision: 

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

    • The conditions as set out in Appendix 1 to the report; and

    A Section 106 Legal Agreement to secure the relevant affordable housing contribution in accordance with the council’s adopted policy and to require the developer to make good any damage to the track arising from construction traffic.

  • Poulton Farm, Little Minsterley, Minsterley, Shrewsbury, SY5 0BW (15/00487/EIA ) Erection of 2 no. poultry sheds and feed bins, ancillary works, improvements to existing access, and associated landscaping works.  Decision:  That, subject to the conditions as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, planning permission be granted as per the officer’s recommendation.
  • Proposed dwelling rear of Enterprise House, Main Road, Pontesbury, Shrewsbury (15/00999/FUL) Erection of a dwelling.  Decision: 

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

    • The conditions as set out in Appendix 1 to the report; and

    A Section 106 Legal Agreement to secure the relevant affordable housing contribution in accordance with the council’s adopted policy.
