He said: “The proposed development is located within mixture of commercial and industrial properties which surround the site which has a variety of building styles, scale and design. “It will provide employment opportunities for local tradesmen, of which there are many in the Four Crosses/Welshpool area, and building works such as this will stimulate wider benefits, not only in terms of generating wealth at the build stage, but also during the lifetime of the building by positively contributing to the local economy by employing local people.” The character of the estate will not be harmed, but to the contrary will improve and enhance and provide a positive contribution to its overall appearance, he said.
