Shrewsbury pub to be demolished after fresh plans for 'modern' homes are lodged
A pub looks set to be demolished after new plans for 16 "modern" homes were lodged.

The Anchor, in Gloucester Road, Harlescott, Shrewsbury, closed in 2019 after being bought by Birmingham businessman, Faz Nawaz, who has submitted fresh plans to knock it down. He wants to build 10 flats and six houses on the site.
The pub was previously approved for demolition in 2020, despite objections from Shrewsbury Town Council and previous landlords.
A planning application for demolition of the pub to make way for six houses and a three-storey block of nine apartments was refused by the council’s planning committee in 2014, and the pub was designated an Asset of Community Value in 2015. It was, however, removed from the list in July 2019.
Mr Nawaz's latest plans feature "more modern aesthetics" to the previously granted application.
