The comments come in response to an application from Manor Oak homes for a piece of land at Battlefield in Shrewsbury - to the east of Battlefield Roundabout, bordered by the A49, and A53.

The proposal is to build 570 new homes, a new primary school, commercial retail, and community facilities.

The site is located near to the historic and sensitive location of the Battle of Shrewsbury.
