Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed canopy on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The front canopy would form a permanent, visually incongruous projection that would harmfully disrupt the established rhythm of the shopfront, conflicting with Policy 26, whereas the removable external seating area would accord with design policy and could be adequately controlled by condition.
