Former care home Coton Hill House is to be turned into 25 self-contained apartments.
Plans have been approved by councillors to turn a former care home into supported housing for homeless people.The proposals, recommended for approval, were formally backed at a Shropshire Council meeting on Tuesday.
More than 250 residents had objected to the plans, with some citing concerns about anti-social behaviour which they said would make them feel unsafe.Shropshire Council said the project would not be a "hostel or homeless shelter for rough sleepers" and aimed to help people move on to fully independent living.
