Residents have objected to plans by Saxonby Homes to build three blocks of flats at a site on Shrewsbury Road , Shrewsbury , citing a negative impact on the views from nearby houses , risk to the great crested newts in a pond on the development site , an increase in traffic and noise , lack of facilities at the local primary school , lack of infrastructure and over - development . The project was refused planning permission by Shropshire council last year because of its scale and incompatability with sustainable development . Shropshire council will make a decision on the matter in the coming weeks .
