  • Land at Great Ryton, Shrewsbury (15/03259/REM) Reserved matters application (layout, appearance, scale and landscaping) pursuant to 14/03221/OUT for the erection of 2 no. dwellings and garages.  Decision:

    That the application be deferred to a future meeting to enable further consideration to be given by the applicants to the design, scale and elevations of both the dwellings and garages and further information to be submitted with regard to the proposed planting and landscaping.

  • Proposed residential development land south of Christ Church, Harley Road, Cressage, Shrewsbury (15/04580/FUL) Erection of eight dwellings (two affordable dwellings); formation of vehicular access, carparking and associated amenity space.  Decision:

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

  • A S106 Legal Agreement to secure Plots 7 and 8 as affordable rent units; and
  • The conditions as set out in Appendix 1 to the report.

 

  • Land south of Calverton Way, Shrewsbury (15/04910/OUT) Outline application for the erection of 4 No residential units (to include access).  Decision: 

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

  • A S106 Legal Agreement to secure an appropriate affordable housing contribution;
  • An additional condition to ensure the adequate provision of car parking spaces to serve the apartments in perpetuity; and
  • The conditions as set out in Appendix 1 to the report, subject to the Construction Method Statement being amended to include the construction and/or demolition working hours on site.
  • Reason: to protect the health and well-being of residents in the area.

 

  • Little Vinnals Bungalow, Long Lane end of, to The Cottage Junction, Longden, Shrewsbury, SY5 8HF (15/04917/FUL) Erection of a holiday chalet to include change of use of land. Decision: 

    That, as per the officer’s recommendation, planning permission be refused for the following reason:

    The principle of a holiday let in an isolated open countryside location accessed via a shared private shared lane is not considered to be acceptable. This proposed development would not be related to any existing tourism business at the site, would not involve the conversion of any existing suitable building, and would be in an isolated location within open countryside away from any settlements. The scheme is considered to represent a sporadic and unsustainable form of development which is detrimental to the character and setting of the surrounding open countryside. As such it is considered that the development is contrary to policies CS5, CS6, CS13,CS16 and CS17 of the Shropshire Core Strategy and policy MD11 of the adopted SAMDev (Shropshire Council Site Allocations and Management) Development Plan as well as the National Planning Policy Framework.
