Work is to begin on 1 September [2025] on a mixed-use commercial scheme between Oteley Road and Hazleldine Way in Shrewsbury – on the site of the former pitch and putt site.
The development, to be located on the western side of the site, will accommodate seven commercial units of various sizes and a total of 101 parking spaces, along with EV charging points.
So far, Starbucks, KFC and Indigo Sun have signed up to the scheme, with two further units under offer and only two units still available for interested businesses.

The construction work is being carried out by Morris Property on behalf of Shropshire Council. The work will last 12 months after which the tenants will be doing fit-outs of their units before they are open for business.
Roger Evans, Shropshire Council’s Cabinet member for finance, said:
“I’m pleased that work is about to begin on the development of this site. Once completed we’re confident that the site will be popular and well used and help to benefit the local economy – as well as raising additional income for Shropshire Council.”
During the first phase of work, overnight one-way closures – 8pm to 6am – will be in place on Hazledine Way from 1 to 19 September, and from 29 September to 8 November.
The eastern side of the site has been sold to a care home operator who will provide a 66 bed facility with 25 parking spaces.
