Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The decking's limited visual prominence from the public footpath, its neutral colour, and the existing planting screening combined with the backdrop of residential development meant the development did not adversely affect the character and appearance of the area.
