Concerns over Nesscliffe pub homes bid
Parish councillors say they remain unhappy with plans to build houses near a Shropshire village pub.
An initial bid to build homes at the Old Three Pigeons at Nesscliffe was refused by Shropshire Councillors last year, contrary to the advice given by their own planning officers.
Revised plans have now been lodged with Shropshire Council which would see the building of two houses, the formation of a new rear car park and a reconfigured rear beer garden at the pub. But members of Great Ness and Little Ness Parish Council have lodged objections to the revised plans.
According to a design and access statement lodged on behalf of the applicant Mrs S Brooks, the revised plans take into account design concerns raised when the first application was considered by councillors.
However the revised plans have not won favour with the parish council.
In a submission the council said: "The parish council consider the proposed alterations to access and the car park do not address the problem of reduced parking for patrons.
The size of the properties does not fit with the requirements of the community as expressed in the parish plan and housing survey."
