Latest Shropshire Council planning applications and decisions including Connexus Wem plan

A developer has asked if a building in Wem can be converted for residential use as part of an ongoing redevelopment.

Several shared rent and social houses are being built at Edinburgh House as part of a redevelopment of the New Street site.

In January 2024, developers won an appeal to demolish two-thirds of the building and convert the rest of it into homes and offices.

Shropshire Council had originally rejected the scheme due to open space and noise concerns, but a government planning inspector decided in favour of Connexus. Work started at the beginning of last year, with the redevelopment expected to be completed by spring 2027.

Now, Connexus has submitted an application (26/03263/PA3MA) to ask whether prior approval is required for a proposed change for another building on the site. The firm wants Rosalind House to be used as a residential building consisting of three properties.

Last year, Shropshire Council said that prior approval was not required for a similar application that Connexus submitted for Edinburgh House.
