Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed garage on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The combination of the garage's low profile, its proximity to the existing set-back bungalow, the remaining open distance to the front boundary, and the use of softer wooden materials meant it would be sufficiently unobtrusive to not disrupt the open character and appearance of Old Norwich Road.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy GC4 of the Broadland Development Management DPD 2015
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.
