Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the amenity of the area; particularly whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the significance of the Smethwick Summit Galton Valley Conservation Area

What decided it

The immediate surroundings of the appeal site do not offer positive elements which contribute to the significance of the conservation area, therefore the appeal scheme would not erode or detract from any such elements and would preserve the character and significance of the conservation area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy HE2 of the Site Allocations and Delivery Development Plan Document (SAD DPD)
