Attempts to build houses on the former home of Monumental Masons stone merchants on Salop Road in Oswestry have been ongoing since 2010.
Most of the site buildings were removed when the business relocated to another site in the town, although several structures are still in place to the site’s boundary with Stewart Road.
The original plan, to build two semi-detached and one flat on the site, came to a screeching halt after the next-door pub launched a successful legal challenge over a right-to-light issue.
A subsequent plan to build three terrace homes on the site - set further back from the pub - was submitted and eventually approved in 2020.
