- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed garage with living accommodation would be unacceptably dominant in the streetscene due to its height, massing, bulk and prominent siting close to the front boundary, contrary to local design policies, whereas the boundary wall and dwelling extensions would accord with those policies.
