    8. PLANNING APPEALS

    The following decision of the Planning Inspectorate has been received by the Council regarding appeals against a decision to refuse to grant planning permission.

    (a) 5 Lower Road, Pontesbury Hill, Shrewsbury - Appeal against two conditions on planning permission 02/1500/F dated 28th Oct 2002

    Decision: Appeal Dismissed - 19/11/2003

    Summary: The Inspector considered that the key issues were the protection of the living conditions of occupiers of adjoining properties and ensuring a satisfactory appearance for the development. On the first issue the dwelling to the rear of the proposed bungalow was overlooked by the property and it was important that the Council had control over the insertion of dormer windows to the rear. On the second issue the front of the site was exposed and had little natural vegetation present. The requirement for a landscaping scheme was therefore appropriate. He concluded that both of the councils proposed conditions were necessary and satisfied the legal tests.
