Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- Whether the proposal would provide sufficient off-street parking and the effect upon highway safety
What decided it
The location at the end of a cul-de-sac opposite an existing detached bungalow, combined with the dwelling's set-back position and design consistency with the street scene, ensured it would not appear unduly prominent and would be acceptable in character and appearance terms, while the low traffic movements and accessible parking spaces satisfied highway safety requirements.
