Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character, appearance and significance of the Alvechurch Conservation Area
  • The surrounding road network with particular regard to the provision of car parking

What decided it

The proposal would preserve and enhance the conservation area through fenestration improvements and would not adversely affect the road network given the net reduction in parking demand and availability of alternative provision.
