Bayston Hill Parish Council Vote Unanimously to Object to Development of the Glebelands
13th June 2023

At last nights (June 12th) Full Council meeting, Bayston Hill Parish Council voted unanimously to lodge comments strongly in objection to 23/02061/OUT | Residential Development (Outline) with Vehicular and Pedestrian Access off Glebe Road, along with Use of Existing Vehicular Access to Serve Relocated Church Car Park | Land To The Rear Of Christ Church Glebe Road Bayston Hill Shrewsbury Shropshire.

Cllr Underwood said he is against the plans for a variety of reasons.

"My lad used to play football on there," he said. "It's a place where the community comes together. We had 2,000 people for the (Queen's Platinum) Jubilee last year. It's the only bit of green space in the village we could do something like that.

"We lose that and we lose the opportunity to bring the village together."

Councillor Tom Osenton said having the field available to walk his dog has been "incredibly helpful" for his mental heath, and urged villagers to make their objections known on the planning application online.

"Clearly these houses are not in the best interests of the community," he added.

The parish council unanimously agreed to object to the plans on multiple grounds including the loss of green space, the fact the land isn't including in the draft Shropshire Local Plan, concerns over medical and school provision, drainage, loss of wildlife habitat

The planning application will be open to comments until June 22nd.
