Residents have objected to plans by Saxonby Homes to build three blocks of flats at a site on Ellesmere Road, Shrewsbury, citing a negative impact on the views from nearby houses, risk to the great crested newts in a stream on the development site, an increase in traffic and pollution, lack of places at the local primary school, lack of infrastructure and over-development. The planning application was submitted for consideration by Shropshire Council after it received more than 100 objections over its proposed development, which would include two new houses with six bedrooms each. Shropshire council will make a decision on the plans in the coming weeks.

The project was refused planning permission by Shropshire council last year because of its scale and incompatability with sustainable development.
