Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the wooden clad storage container on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The storage container's modest scale, timber cladding, and concealment by mature planting meant it did not harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area and accorded with the development plan.

The modest and simple appearance of the timber-clad storage container, largely hidden by mature planting, was balanced against the need to protect the character and appearance of the residential area, and the balance favoured the development.
