PLANS have been submitted to install a balcony at a closed café.

The Grade I listed building used to be the Pea Green Café near the river Teme. 

The plans submitted to Shropshire Council also includes converting a garage into accommodation, replacing the windows and having solar panels. 

"The only changes in appearance will be the galvanised steel balcony, solar panel system,  replacement and revised window openings and a single roof light," said Simon Angell, an architectural and planning consultant working on behalf of the applicant. 

"All of these alterations and additions are at the rear of the property and will not be seen by the public. The replacement of upvc windows will enhance the listed building.

"The proposed balcony is sited at the rear of the building and tucked behind the lower first floor pitched roof," said Simon Angell, an architectural and planning consultant working on behalf of the applicant. 

"It has little impact upon the listed building especially considering that it is largely hidden from public view.

"Replacing uPVC windows with timber on a listed building is always a positive improvement.

"The conversion of the garage does not have any negative impact upon the listed building."
