Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the development now proposed, compared with those of the approved garage, on the character and appearance of the site and surrounding area, on the adjacent protected trees, and with respect to the quality of private outdoor amenity space for prospective residents

What decided it

The fallback position of the lawful double garage approval under reference 19/01168/CPL meant that the proposed bungalow would not increase the amount of built development permitted on the site, and specialist evidence demonstrated that protected trees and residential amenity could be adequately safeguarded through appropriate conditions.

Plan policies cited: Policy 5.4, Policy 16, Policy 39, Policy 40
