Plans to turn Abbey House in Shrewsbury into ten "generous apartments" were rejected by Shropshire Council in May.

Dating from the 1720s, Abbey House – which is next to Abbey Foregate’s junction with Horsefair and Whitehall Street – was originally built as a residence for once Sheriff of Shropshire, Thomas Jenkins.

It was then converted and adapted for its use as offices, most recently as home to Terry Jones Solicitors and Advocates.
