Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the development would be acceptable in terms of highway safety with particular regard to whether a reduction in off-street parking provision would lead to conflict with pedestrians or increased demand for parking within the highway
- Whether the development would provide satisfactory drainage arrangements, with particular regard to its relationship to the approved drainage scheme for the wider site
- Whether sufficient information has been provided to demonstrate that the development would not cause harm to the neighbouring tree
What decided it
The clarification that the application relates solely to the increased eaves height and excludes the garage, driveway and pond removed the Council's substantive concerns regarding highway safety, drainage and tree protection.
