Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

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

What decided it

The proposed front detached garage would be prominently sited, large, bulky and incongruous, conflicting with the character and appearance of the area and Policy LPD04, with no material considerations to outweigh this conflict.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy LPD04 of the St Helens Borough Local Plan up to 2037

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
