A plan to create a 14-bedroom house in multiple occupation above two properties in a commercial building has been rejected by councillors worried about the impact on the area.
Applicants looking to change the use of Oswald House, in Oswald Road, Oswestry told councillors that the flats across the first, second and third floors of the building would provide a high quality environment for residents and a boost to the town.
Oswestry Councillor Duncan Kerr said converting the former bank into a HMO would cause social problems and add to a"cycle of decay" in an area that is already seeing"daily visits by police."
