The proposal includes a gym, drive-thru Starbucks, drive-thru KFC and a tanning and beauty salon, as well as a residential care home for dementia patients.
The proposal, for the former Shropshire Council site off Oteley Road, was discussed at Tuesday's meeting of the authority's Northern Planning Committee.
This came despite the application's case officer Kelvin Hall saying that the entrance and exit to the site did not"raise adverse highway safety concerns", and that the council's roads department agreed that the proposal could be"adequately accommodated on the highway network". The entrance for the retail site would be off Oteley Road, with the exit onto Hazledine Way, while the entrance and the exit for the care home would be off a separate access on Oteley Road.He said:"I have no issue with the design or aesthetics of the plans. I do have a major issue about the impact of increased traffic on the very busy Meole Brace Island, which is already on frequent occasions crammed with fast-food traffic which is travelling to McDonald's on the adjacent retail park.
Councillor Burchett said:"I have concerns about the traffic situation at this roundabout, on Saturday as the traffic is backed up Hazeldine Way for two to three hours in a row." Another committee member, Councillor Mike Isherwood, said he believed there was too much planned for the site.
