Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the proposed development on highway safety
What decided it
The proposed building's positioning, low level relative to surrounding properties, and backdrop of existing built form meant it would not have a detrimental effect on character and appearance, and the absence of any change of use or additional trip generation meant highway safety would not be adversely affected.
