Detailed plans for 12 new homes in Four Crosses have been met with objections from the local community council. Concerns raised include the relocation of a bus shelter, insufficient parking, lack of open space, and the absence of bungalows.
Detailed plans for a dozen new homes in Four Crosses near Llanymynech have been objected to by the community council. The principle of building the 12 homes was agreed back in November 2022 when an outline planning application was approved by county planners for the “Wychwood Trustees.” Details of the appearance, landscaping, layout, and scale, of the development still needed to be approved in writing by county planners before any development begins and shall be carried out as approved.
The proposal would see eight three bedroom semi-detached houses, one detached three bedroom house, and three four bedroom detached houses built at the site. Llandysilio community council had objected to the original outline planning application and have continued to voice their concerns over the development. They say that re-locating the bus shelter would affect other entrances further along the B4393 and will also bring it closer to the junction with the road leading to the “Garage/Morrison’s local” shop. Llandysilio council also point out that “insufficient” car parking spaces will be provided and say that: “there should be at least one car park space per bedroom.” The council also says that there is no provision for “open space” or playground equipment. Llandysilio council added: “The council is disappointed to not see any bungalows included on this site as the village is in need of retirement/starter homes.” Planning agents for Dennis Edwards homes, Julian McAlster of Design and Planning Associated Ltd (DPA) explained the proposal in a design and access statement. Mr McAlster said that the bungalow at the site known as Wychwood and would be kept while garages at the site would be demolished to allow a new access road into the site. “House types selected and proposed for this site would be in keeping and appropriate with Four Crosses and its current housing stock and provide a good range of dwellings”,
