Plans to demolish a run-down youth centre in Shrewsbury and replace it with a new purpose-built facility have been given the green light.
The new youth club, to be built on the site of SYA’s current base in Upton Lane in the Monkmoor area of Shrewsbury, will enable the charity to grow and improve on the services it provides to young people in the county.
The council has now granted permission for the development, saying it will “much better serve the needs of the charity going forward”.The current demountable buildings have been in situ since 2008, under a temporary planning permission which was renewed in 2018. “It is considered that the scale and design of the proposed building and the chosen materials are acceptable having regard to the context of the site and existing surrounding development, and that the development would enhance the appearance of the site and have no adverse impact on the character and appearance of the street scene.”
