Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property with regard to outlook
What decided it
The carport's open form, modest scale, subservient design, and limited projection above the boundary fence meant it would not materially harm the character and appearance of the area or the outlook of neighbouring occupiers.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS21 of the Woking Core Strategy DPD (2012)Woking Design SPD (2015)Supplementary Planning Document – Outlook, Amenity, Privacy and Daylight
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
