Shropshire Council has been asked to consider fresh plans for Frankwell Quay Warehouse – a prominent building between Shrewsbury's Frankwell Car Park and Theatre Severn.

The application is trying to secure permission to repair, renovate, and extend the building – with plans for a significant extension rising up behind the building's existing roofline, adding a third and fourth floor.

Under the proposal the ground floor would become a restaurant/cafe, with nine residential apartments spread out on the floors above.

The application is a joint proposal from Frankwell Quay Developments and the site's owner – Engrailed Cross Investments.

A design an access statement submitted with the proposal says the existing floors are in a "very advanced state of deterioration" and would be removed.
