Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the appeal property's shop frontage and the local area

What decided it

The roller shutters create a solid and characterless façade that harms the open character and appearance of Shirley High Street, whereas the pergola alone maintains visual openness and is consistent with the area's character.
