Shrewsbury Flaxmill Maltings
An outline application by owners Historic England relating to brownfield land surrounding the site and the historic Apprentice House building has been granted this week by Shropshire Council, meaning it can be redeveloped for housing.
Historic England is also aiming to make the most of the former Shrewsbury Canal towpath, and allow for its potential future restoration, though Shrewsbury & Newport Canals Trust has criticised current plans.
Planning consent was first granted for the brownfield land in 2011 but expired this year.
