Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether approval should be given in respect of the siting and appearance of the proposed development, with particular regard to its effect on the character and appearance of the area, and its effect upon the safe and efficient operation of the highway
What decided it
The siting and appearance of the proposed development would lead to a significant harmful visual impact on the appeal site and immediately surrounding area, being incongruent with the spacious character of the footway despite the absence of harm to pedestrian movement or highway safety.
