Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The car-port's position forward of the house close to the pavement would create an obtrusive and incongruous feature that would harm the character and appearance of the street scene, contrary to Policy P15 of the Solihull Local Plan 2013.
