How the top floor of the building could look
More than 40 people turned out to see the plans going on show at last week’s North East Shrewsbury Local Joint Committee meeting, even though the architects were unable to attend due to the weather.
The latest plans by architects Fielden Clegg Bradley show how existing buildings would be upgraded and brought back into use for commercial, educational, office or leisure use and how new homes and other buildings would be built on the land where the Arriva bus depot, Midland Red social club and former Salop Glass building currently stand.
Officials say between £9 million and £16 million of public funding will need to be found, but that other sources of funding are being explored, including Heritage Lottery Funding.
Councillor Mosley said the mill was of “monumental” historical importance and said he was confident that development could happen within the next five to six years.
