Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area and to highway safety, which the identified benefits do not outweigh, combined with conflict with the development plan and absence of material considerations to override this conflict.
The benefits of tidying the site, revealing street furniture, and providing security for the appellant do not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and highway safety.
