Fears have been raised over a new 'millionaire's row' being created in Shrewsbury after the owner of the house where Charles Darwin was born lodged plans to build a mansion
Fears have been raised over a new "millionaire's row" being created in Shrewsbury after the owner of the house where Charles Darwin was born lodged plans to build a mansion.Plans have been lodged for a mansion on Beehive Lane in Shrewsbury
The proposal has received several objections, with worries raised over green land being spoiled and the potential for more large homes to be built in the future. "Beehive Lane itself is part of the Shropshire Way, and is a walking route enjoyed daily by many walkers and Shrewsbury residents. If a conservation area means anything, it surely includes conserving valuable green corridors linking the town to its surroundings."
However, Andrew Ellam, who has been a business partner of Mr Jones, supports the application. He said:"I am a regular jogger and cycler and I frequently pass this location. When I saw the notice I checked into the application fearing the development on the valley and I was pleased to see the proposal.
