Planners urged to approve popular Shropshire pub's car park plans
Planners are being urged to approve proposals for a new car park at one of the county's most popular pub and restaurants.
Last year Brunning & Price, the successful pub and restaurant owners, applied for permission to build a new car park for the Mytton & Mermaid in Atcham - near Shrewsbury.
The company, which has a host of pubs across the country, reopened the venue after a refurbishment in 2023.
It has proved a success - but has been so popular that there have been issues with parking in the area, leading to the issue being raised by concerned residents at a meeting of Atcham Parish Council.
A planning statement submitted with the application explained the issue, saying: "Since the reopening, and owing to the popularity of the venue, overflow parking beyond the premises front and rear car parks has proven to be an issue, with customers parking along Malthouse Lane to the east."
The firm identified a field across the River Severn, which it proposes using as a car park, with space for 93 cars.
