Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: The effect of the metal storage containers upon the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area, with particular regard to outlook from neighbouring residential properties
- Appeal B: The effects of the metal storage containers on the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area; highway and pedestrian safety; fire safety; and the living conditions of occupiers of neighbouring properties, with particular regard to outlook and privacy
What decided it
The harm to character and appearance caused by the utilitarian and stark containers in a predominantly residential setting, combined with unresolved highway safety concerns arising from the constrained site layout and access arrangements, were decisive in dismissing both appeals.
