    That the dental surgery use be allowed and condition 3 varied to read: - "The premises shall only be used for the purposes of a training, drop-in, counselling and office use and dental surgery within use Class D1 of the Schedule of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987, or in any provision equivalent to that order in any statutory instrument revoking or re-enacting that Order, and for no other purposes within that class unless otherwise agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority.

    Reason: to protect the amenities of the occupiers of nearby residential properties and to ensure that an uncontrolled intensification of this use does not occur.

     

    6. PLANNING APPEAL

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

    (a) Site at 28 Brook Street, Shrewsbury - Erection of a 2 storey extension after demolition of existing garage; form integral garage, loft conversion and shower room ref 03/1412F

    Decision: Appeal dismissed 31.08.2004

    Summary: The key issue was the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area. The siting of the property was unusual as it addressed both Brook Street and Kemps Eye Avenue. The 2 storey extension would be distinct and visible from the highway and would form a strident and incongruous element into the street scene. The single storey element and loft conversion would be acceptable subject to a minor amendment, however overall the proposal was not acceptable and conflicted with planning policy to an unnacceptable degree.
