Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Grade II listed building (The Green Man)
What decided it
The proposed garage would cause less than substantial harm to the setting of the Grade II listed building by reducing its open and verdant character as viewed from the street, and this harm cannot be justified by the private benefit of car storage, which is not a public benefit.

- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV2Policy GEN2Policy H8
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199Paragraph 202Paragraph 130
