Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the neighbouring occupiers, in terms of outlook

What decided it

The combination of the garage's significant set-back from the street, its limited visibility in public views, the reduction in eaves height, and the realistic fallback position of a lawfully permitted smaller building with minimal difference in impact, meant the proposal would not cause significant harm to character, appearance or neighbouring living conditions.
