Applicants for the single property scheme on the corner of Willow Road and Brownlow Road took issue with town council comments that the property would spoil the area at a meeting of Shropshire Council’s planning committee – saying the town hall opposite was “hardly beautiful”.
Town councillor Amanda Weeks told the committee the town council had not changed their views on the application. “As the site is so sloping, a lowering of 0.6 metres is not sufficient to stop the property from being completely dominant along that road.” “We believe this site is an obvious plot. It’s vacant land within an otherwise built up area within the town boundary,” he said.
