Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area bearing in mind the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the adjacent Grenoside Conservation Area
The effect of the proposal on highway safety

What decided it

The less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the locality and the setting of the Conservation Area, with no public benefits to outweigh it, was the decisive factor.

The less than substantial harm to the conservation area setting, attracting considerable weight, was weighed against the private benefit of garage parking to the appellant with no identified public benefits, and the balance tipped decisively against the proposal.
