Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Steeple Bumpstead Conservation Area

What decided it

The carport's modest architectural presence, subservient height, open sides, matching materials, and the gap between house and carport would preserve the conservation area's character and appearance with no harm.

The proposal would preserve the significance of the conservation area with no harm to its character or appearance, according with the development plan and the Framework's approach to heritage assets.
