Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the Lordship Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The permanent siting of the proposed bin and bicycle shed in the front garden would be a sizeable, visually unattractive structure at odds with neighbouring properties and would harmfully erode the historic character of the Lordship Park Conservation Area, and this harm was not outweighed by the public benefits which could be achieved through a less harmful alternative design.

- Development plan policies
- LP1LP3D1D3HC1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 197Paragraph 199
