Plans are set to be approved despite fears of 'over-development', and some branding the scheme 'very car-centric'.
The Meole Brace site in Shrewsbury was previously owned by Shropshire Council, but was sold to developers in 2019.
If approved it will see the creation of a new 'mixed use development', containing a gym, drive-thru coffee shop, drive-thru restaurant, a tanning and beauty salon, as well as a residential care home. The two-storey building would have space for five retail units on the ground floor and a gym on the first floor.The care home will have 80 bedrooms across two and three floors, with communal facilities including lounge and dining areas, a cinema room, library, and therapy rooms.Shrewsbury Town Council has objected to the plan – along with a number of members of the public.
They also said that"the proposed exit road on to Hazledine Way was dangerous as the road had a speed limit of 50mph". "The care home would provide specialist housing for older people, the need for which national planning guidance states is ‘critical’, and the location for which is acceptable under Development Plan policy.
