The tier sentence heading before ¶25

“Impact on local services”

Summary

A two-storey side extension and conversion to create two more flats at the end of a small parade in Wednesfield was dismissed. The extension would dominate an open corner and breach the building line, and the shared amenity space and the relationship with one ground-floor flat were poor. The inspector tied both harms to the L2(1)(d) criteria and found the benefits substantially outweighed under S4.

The location finding

TR3: benefit. mapped - urban location within walking distance of bus routes weighs in favour, in TR3 wording; TR3 not named (DL 23, 31)

Why this is cited

This decision was picked up by the search on the words above, which refer to services, not to a settlement tier. "local services" is the loss of a shop unit; no tier.
