Plans have been approved to knock down a former Ellesmere garage which served the town for 80 years.
Road safety concerns from Ellesmere residents and councillors failed to sway Shropshire Council’s northern planning committee, which voted to approve the scheme for Victoria Garage in Scotland Street.
A small part of the building, which was originally a chapel, will be retained to create a bin storage area.Shropshire Council considers the garage a non-designated heritage asset, but planning officers had recommended approval on the basis that the public benefits of the scheme outweighed the loss of the building.
He said the plans to widen the access road would greatly improve visibility for vehicles turning out onto Scotland Street. It said: “It is unacceptable that highways don’t consider this section of road unsafe, and state that this application is acceptable and are in support of adding additional entrances onto such a dangerous section of road, when they have not resolved existing concerns.”
