Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the risk of flooding
  • the character and appearance of the area including the effect on nearby designated heritage assets, in particular Nos 1 to 5 Bridge Terrace, Chetwynd House and the roving bridge and lock on the Shropshire Union Newport Branch Canal
  • highway and pedestrian safety

What decided it

The significant harm to heritage assets and the inadequately addressed flood risk and drainage concerns, which could not be mitigated by conditions, outweighed the modest public benefits of providing one affordable dwelling.
