Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area and host property and whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Tettenhall Wood Conservation Area, and in the event that any harm is identified, whether that harm would be outweighed by any public benefits of the proposal
- Whether appropriate living conditions would be provided for the existing occupiers of the host property and also the future occupiers of the proposal, with regard to the provision of amenity space
- The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupants of No 4 School Road, with particular reference to noise and disturbance
What decided it
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Tettenhall Wood Conservation Area caused by the incongruous box roof dormer design was not outweighed by the limited public benefits of providing a single new dwelling.
