Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the shed and canopies on the character and appearance of the area
  • Their effect on the living conditions of neighbours and occupiers of the appeal premises

What decided it

The shed's substantial restriction of private amenity space for the dwellings within the appeal site, contrary to NPPF paragraph 130(f), rendered it unacceptable and decisive in refusing permission for it, while the canopies' lightweight construction and limited public visibility made them acceptable.
