Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposal on the character or appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposal on the setting of nearby listed buildings

What decided it

The adequate separation between the proposed building and existing built form, combined with the removal of car parking in favour of landscaped private space, ensured the development would not materially harm the character and appearance of the area or the setting of nearby listed buildings.
