Application Number:         0017/2021

Development:                      Proposed dwelling with integral garage and associated parking

Location:                              16 Wigginton Road, Tamworth, B79 8RH

RESOLVED:                        Refused – Reason outlined below. 

Reason for Refusal

The scale, bulk and massing of the proposed dwelling combined with its siting would create harm to the significance of the Grade 11* Listed building known as  Spital Chapel of St James, and a designated heritage asset. The proposed development would also  hinder appreciation of its significance by altering the significant relationship of the chapel to its surroundings and adversely affect its setting. The proposed works would therefore result in material harm to the Grade II* listed building and its setting contrary to policy EN6: Protecting the Historic Environment, as set out in the Tamworth Local Plan 2006-2031, the provisions of chapter 16,  Conserving and enhancing the historic environment, of the National Planning Policy Framework (NPPF) 2021, and sections 16 and 66 of the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990.
