Second phase of industrial park plan for Shrewsbury includes demolition of war buildings
The proposed second phase of an industrial park in Shrewsbury has reached the planning stage and includes demolition of war buildings.
Morris Holdings has applied for permission for 24 light industrial units and associated landscaping at Centurion Park on Kendal Road, Shrewsbury.
The application involves demolishing existing buildings on the land – including First World War military buildings – save for the sub station and pump station.
The old buildings were build for the Royal Flying Corps. After the Armistice they were taken over by the Council but requisitioned by the military during the Second World War and some remained with the military until the 1980s and 90s.
Each new unit will be either 2,000 or 3,000 square feet, designed to be let in any combination.
