Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the decking and gravelled area on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area

What decided it

The decking and gravelled area, being minimal in visual impact and located adjacent to a building now lawfully used for residential purposes, do not harm character and appearance and therefore warrant planning permission.
