Plans for an 83-bedroom town centre hotel have been withdrawn, following objections.

The application was for a Travelodge in Shrewsbury but it was opposed by other hoteliers, residents and the civic society.

Travelodge said the town centre was short of hotel rooms and was supported by Visit Shropshire which said there was huge demand for hotel rooms.

Developer Morris Property said it would look at the building design again.

The new Travelodge was proposed for the car park between Rowley’s House and the Claremont Baptist Church.

In a statement, Morris Property said: “Taking on board comments from the Civic Society and others we are working closely with the planning department on the aesthetics of the design with the intention of potentially resubmitting an application that will attract full support.”
