Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Woodgrange Conservation Area and the dwelling
- the effect of the proposal on the Council's transport strategy and highway safety, in regard to on-street parking and the footpath
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area from the loss of hedge and introduction of hardstanding, which would not be outweighed by the limited public benefit of improved accessibility for a disabled family member.
The limited public benefit of improved accessibility was outweighed by the less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area.
