A heritage society is "disappointed" with the "bland" new plans for an 83-bed Travelodge next to an iconic town centre building.The newly-submitted artist's impression of the proposed Travelodge in Shrewsbury town centre
One of the objectors at the time was the Shrewsbury Civic Society, which said if a"masterplan" for the area was not drawn up,"we could end up with a hotch-potch that pleases no-one and offends almost everyone". "As to the Travelodge hotel, SCS has serious concerns about a number of issues relating to the revised application.
"Having a different design for each of the three gables to Barker Street is unnecessary and distracts from the stronger features of the design, such as the dormers. "A much better setting for the hotel and Rowley’s House can be achieved if the car park is replaced by sensitive building development along Hill’s Lane and to the south-east of Rowley’s House in a way that creates a semi-enclosed public space with stone paving, benches and isolated trees. Simply providing some planting around the car park as is being proposed is not enough.
