Decisions made by South planning committee on 11 August 2015
The following decisions were made by Shropshire Council’s South planning committee at its meeting at Shirehall, Shrewsbury on Tuesday 11 August 2015.
- Proposed residential development land at Hemford Bromlow, Minsterley (14/03447/OUT) Erection of one dwelling with detached domestic garage, and formation of vehicular access (outline application to include access, layout and scale, but with matters of appearance and landscaping reserved). Decision: That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be granted, subject to appropriate conditions and to the completion of a Section 106 Agreement to secure an affordable housing contribution.
- Hazeck, The Mines, Benthall, Broseley, TF12 5QY (14/05209/FUL) Proposed side kitchen extension. Decision:
That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be refused for the following reasons:
The proposed extension, by reason of the monopitch form, and the increased mass and enlarged footprint of the dwelling when the cumulative impact of permitted extensions are taken into account, would result in a development detracting from the character and appearance of the Broseley Conservation Area, contrary to Shropshire Core Strategy policies CS6 and CS17, Broseley Town Plan policies DS2 and H3, and paragraphs 56 to 58; 60; 64 and 131 of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- Land to the west of Squirrel Lane, Ledwyche, Ludlow (15/01472/FUL)Construction of solar park with attendant infrastructure including centre station, inverters, cameras, fencing and associated landscaping. Decision:
That, contrary to the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be refused for the following reasons:
The proposal constitutes large scale industrial development and is inappropriate in terms of location, fails to protect and enhance the natural and historic environment and the character and high quality of the local countryside and setting of Ludlow, and would have an adverse impact on leisure and tourism. The renewable energy benefits of the proposal are significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the adverse impacts and as such would be contrary to Core Strategy Policies CS5, CS6, CS13, CS16 and CS17 and paragraphs 14, 17, 28 and 109, of the National Planning Policy Framework.
- Proposed residential development land north of Haughton Road, Shifnal (15/01741/REM) Reserved matters application for the erection of 216 dwellings pursuant to outline permission reference 12/04646/OUT. Decision:

- Fox Studio, King Street, Much Wenlock, TF13 6BL (15/01850/FUL) Proposed extension and conversion of existing studio building to form two residential units and one commercial unit. Decision:
That planning permission be granted as per the officer’s recommendation, subject to:
- A Section 106 Legal Agreement in respect of an affordable housing contribution;
- The Conditions as set out in Appendix 1 to the report; and
- The following additional condition:
Notwithstanding the provisions of Schedule 2, Part 3, Class O of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development)(England) Order 2015 (or any Order revoking and re-enacting that Order with or without modification) the commercial office accommodation in the conversion and extension scheme hereby approved shall not be used as residential accommodation.
