    8. 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:

    Site at 32 Queen Street, Shrewsbury - Installation of a dormer window. Ref: 04/0223/F

    Decision: Appeal allowed 3rd February 2005

    Summary: The key issue in this case was whether the proposal impacted to a detrimental level on the character and appearance of the conservation area. The dormer was on the rear roof slope and there was a small dormer on a property not far away. The slate roofs were attractive but the design of the dormer was acceptable to the Council and in the Inspectors view would site comfortably in the roof plane. The design also respected the house and was well proportioned. From views further afield the dormer would not look incongruous or out of character.

     

    The Granary, Church Farm, Buildwas - Conversion of a building to a dwelling. Ref: 03/1649/F

    Decision: Appeal allowed 24th January 2005

    Summary: The key issue in this case was the impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area; the Council had agreed that the proposal did not have a detrimental impact on the effects of the works on the listed building. The Inspector considered that the previous permissions for a holiday let and a mixed use business/dwelling were important factors and he assessed that the proposed use did not add additional concerns. The permissions for residential conversions to the rear of the site already had an impact on the locality. Overall the scheme was acceptable and would not be detrimental to the locality.
