Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the special regard that should be paid to the desirability of preserving the setting of the nearby Grade II listed building, 15 Farquhar Road, and the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Edgbaston Conservation Area
What decided it
The ornate design of the proposed gates would be incompatible with the stockbroker Tudor style of the host dwelling and would cause less than substantial but considerable harm to the setting of the adjacent Grade II listed building and the Edgbaston Conservation Area, with no public benefits presented to justify this harm.
