A plan to build houses on parkland described as 'the lungs' of a community has been withdrawn.
Subscribe to our daily newsletter!Residents in Bayston Hill, Shrewsbury, were up in arms over a proposal to build on The Glebelands - so much so that more than 230 objections were lodged and a petition launched to try and put a halt to the project.
It has not yet been established why the proposals have been pulled, or whether they will be resubmitted at a later date. Shortly after the plan was lodged, a meeting was held at Bayston Hill Memorial Hall, where many residents voiced strong opinions against the loss of The Glebelands, with one man insisting the land is"the lungs of the community". Residents say it always has and still is used by families and for football games, and last year a Platinum Jubilee party was held there.
"Open, green spaces are vital for mental health and wellbeing and the loss of this area to housing would be hugely detrimental to local residents and conflicts with recent government policy. The development would also increase the strain on existing infrastructure."
