The site is located close to the former junction of Shropshire Union Canal and the Shrewsbury Canal and was used as a loading point for goods – which was closed in 1944. “There is no impact on the listed buildings at Wappenshall Wharf and the recent approval for the demolition and replacement dwelling at Wharf House is much closer to the listed structures than the proposed site.
Other concerns raised included fears of pruning and reduction of trees protected by a preservation order. The lack of transport infrastructure was also highlighted along with fears that the development could result in the flooding of surrounding properties.
