the erection of a dwelling and associated parking

Authority: Tamworth Borough Council
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Vyse J

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development proposed on the special interest and heritage significance of the grade II* listed Spital Chapel of St James
The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the occupiers of the adjacent property at No 23 Ashby Road, having particular regard to daylight/sunlight, outlook, privacy, noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development would not result in any harm to the heritage significance of the listed Chapel or to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, as the Chapel's significance derives from its immediate grounds rather than adjoining properties, and the neighbouring property has alternative sources of light and outlook to principal rooms.

Framework references: 195, 200, 54

Plan policies cited: Policy EN6, Policy EN5

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
