    6. PLANNING APPEALS

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

    17 New College Road, Shrewsbury - Erection of a first floor side extension over existing garage. Ref 04/0203/F

    Decision: Appeal Dismissed 19th November 2004

    Summary:

    The key issue in this case was the impact of the extension on the living conditions of the neighbouring property. The design of the extension was acceptable as was its appearance in the street scene but the side wall of the neighbours property which had side windows would be dominated and overshadowed by the proposal. In the circumstances the loss of amenity was considered to be excessive and the proposal was unacceptable. This application was refused by members contrary to the officer recommendation of approval.
