®Planning appeal decision

described on the planning application form as: “I have applied to drop my kerb. I have been informed that I need to also seek planning permission too. I would like to build a driveway. It will simply remove the picket fence, and leave the plant beds on one side for drainage and the current grass area will be replaced with Resin bound Gravel in a beige colour to keep the same style as the house has currently. No structures, gates etc

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, and whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The absence of demonstrated public benefits to outweigh the less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area caused by the hard-surfaced forecourt.
