Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring properties

What decided it

The proposed garage's excessive scale, height and bulk would be incongruous and prominent in the streetscene, conflicting with the established character of low-rise garage buildings and adversely affecting the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
