- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the occupants of the dwelling would have acceptable living conditions, having regard to the size of the garden
- whether the occupants of the dwelling would have sufficient on-site parking so as not to cause harm to the users of the public highway
What decided it

the small adverse impact of the limited conflict with Policy S8 was outweighed by the combined economic, social and environmental benefits of retaining the dwelling, so the material considerations favoured allowing the appeal
