Developers say the care home is needed, and needed now - but objectors say 182 units of new care accommodation and a 75-bed nursing home and dementia unit would put extra pressure on health services.
But objectors say the scheme for 182 units of care accommodation and a 75-bed nursing home and dementia unit at the Hencote estate off Ellesmere Road would put extra pressure on local health services, attracting retired people from out of the county to settle there.
However the inquiry was told at the opening that the applicant had since then offered a sum of money for affordable housing as part of the benefits of the scheme and that Shropshire Council now believed that the material benefits were sufficient to outweigh the original decision to refuse permission.
Nearby resident, Ben Jephcott, speaking to the inquiry said he and other residents were astounded by that decision of the council. He said the £1.3 million contribution was a drop in the ocean. For the applicant James Donagh said:"There is nothing else like this in Shrewsbury, there is a need right now."
