Shropshire Council gave the go-ahead to outline proposals for the Wynnstay Group’s new warehouse building and storage area at Astley Park in the northwest of Shrewsbury, which the firm says will allow its arable division to grow in line with national demand.
“The new building and alterations proposed will further enhance the successful business of Wynnstay’s arable division at Astley Park and create more employment opportunities for local people,” it said. The scheme received no formal objections and Astley Parish Council did not offer any comments during the consultation period.A report from Shropshire Council’s planning department recommended restricted working hours in order to protect nearby residents from noise generated at the site.
“The proposed development would enable the existing operations at the site to expand within the boundaries of the site, resulting in efficiencies through an improved layout and would provide economic benefits and is therefore considered acceptable in principle.
