Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for future occupiers of the proposed development and maintained for the occupiers of 13 Beech Street, with particular regard to daylight and garden area
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area by removing a key open space that contributes to the spacious character of Beech Street, and would fail to provide appropriate living conditions for future occupiers due to substantially reduced daylight to rear gardens.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS6 of the Shropshire Core StrategyPolicy MD2 of the Shropshire Site Allocations and Management Development Plan
