A housing developer has asked to meet residents over controversial plans for 114 homes close to the "dangerous" A49.More than 200 objections have been lodged against a Redrow Homes scheme to build on land west of Lyth Hill Road in Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury, with the loss of green space another concern of residents, as well as poor communication about the plans from the developer.
"We have added and additional full council meeting on November 4 and the meeting will entirely take place in public. The proposal comprises of 17 five-bed homes, 22 four-beds, 34 three-beds, 33 two-beds and eight one-beds.Planning applications have previously been lodged to build homes on the land. Plans were refused in 2017, and an application for 106 homes on the site was submitted in November 2022 but withdrawn in February last year.
"The paths in the village are narrow and we already experience issues crossing roads and traffic passing very close, an increase in cars would exasperate this especially for the elderly and young children. The quickest route for cars to leave the village from this development would be onto the A49, causing longer queues and add to the current major concerns regarding the volume of traffic on the A49 and speeding issues.
