Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The overall increase in the size of the garage over the approved design does not diminish the quality of the approved development or lead to any material harm to the character and appearance of the area, and therefore accords with the relevant Joint Local Plan Policies and the Framework in respect of design.
