Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area through its intrusive and dominant appearance in the street scene, in conflict with the development plan and Framework.
The limited weight given to the appellant's desire for storage provision was outweighed by the identified harm to character and appearance, with no other considerations sufficient to overcome the development plan conflict.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HS11 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan (2000)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
