Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the area
- The effect of the development on the highway and pedestrian safety (Appeal C only)
What decided it
Appeal A was dismissed because the front dormers' considerable size and prominence conflicted with the character of an area characterised by simple pitched roofs; Appeal B was allowed because the porch and carport were proportionate and subservient features that did not detract from the property; Appeal C was dismissed because the raised boundary wall and solid gate created both character harm through an intrusive, defensive appearance and pedestrian safety risks by reducing intervisibility at the driveway entrance.
