  • Land north west of Meadowley, Upton Cressett, Bridgnorth, WV16 6UQ (14/03933/FUL) Installation of a solar park with an output of approximately 10.71MW on land associated with Upper Meadowley Farm (revised description).  Decision:  That, subject to the conditions set out in Appendix 1 to the report, planning permission be granted as per the officer’s recommendation.
  • Land north and east of Cwms Lane, Church Stretton (14/04374/OUT) Outline application (access, landscaping, layout) for erection of 65 dwellings (reduced from 85) and use of land for the siting of 16 holiday units.  Application withdrawn
  • The Sidings, Snailbeach, Shrewsbury, SY5 0LT (14/05151/OUT) Erection of dwelling and alterations to existing vehicular access (outline application to include means of access, but with matters of appearance, landscaping, layout and scale reserved).  Decision:

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

    • Any subsequent application for reserved matters to be considered by this Committee; and
    • The following provisions to be included on the outline decision notice:
      • A Construction Method Statement to be submitted prior to any works taking place setting out the timescale for the construction of the dwelling;
      • A stability report regarding the boundary wall to be submitted prior to any works taking place; and
      • An informative note be included advising on the need for the design of the proposed building to respect its setting in terms of scale and design.
  • 10 Clayton Close, Knowbury, Ludlow, SY8 3JA (15/01171/FUL) Erection of extension to dwelling, and change of use of adjoining land to additional domestic curtilage.  Decision:

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

    • The conditions set out in Appendix 1 to the report;
    • An additional condition to ensure the garage shall not be used as additional habitable/living accommodation; and

    In order to preserve the privacy of neighbouring properties, Planning Officers be granted delegated authority to approve the materials and finishing of the balcony.

  • Land to the rear of 41 Furlongs Road, Cleobury Mortimer, DY14 8AR (15/01919/FUL) Erection of residential development 12No dwellings, garages and roads design.  Decision:Consideration deferred to the next meeting, with members minded to refuse the application on the basis that the proposal:
    • Will be detrimental to the residential amenities of neighbouring residents;
    • No such need for this type of dwelling has been identified; and
    • The proposal will result in an unacceptable incremental impact on the local road infrastructure.

    The proposals would therefore fail to comply with Core Strategy Policies CS3, CS6, CS7 and CS8 and Cleobury Mortimer Parish Plan

    . Given the position and weight that can now be afforded to the emerging SAMDev Plan, the development of the site will also be contrary to emerging Policies MD1, MD2 and MD3 of the SAMDev Plan.
