Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed shop canopy on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed canopy would appear as a neat addition rather than an incongruous feature in the street scene, consistent with existing canopies already present on the road, and would not harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area or the setting of nearby Conservation Areas.
