Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the surrounding area
- the highway network with particular regard to parking provision
What decided it
The proposal would be harmful to the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area by disrupting the distinctive pattern of built form and appearing overly dominant, and the absence of a mechanism to ensure car-free development would increase parking pressure on the local highway network.

- Development plan policies
- DM10SP4.1SP4.12SP4.13D3D4T6DM30SP6DM29
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 119
