Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed garage on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The garage would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area along Warsash Road, including at the junction, by being unduly conspicuous, eroding openness, and breaching the prevailing pattern of development.
The otherwise acceptable inherent design and appearance of the proposed garage and its relationship to Church Road were outweighed by the unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area along Warsash Road and at the junction.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS17 of the Fareham Core Strategy, August 2011Design Guidance Supplementary Planning Document, December 2015
- Judgments
- Bernard Wheatcroft Ltd v SSE [JPL 1982 P37]
