Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The timber cabin's prominent and incongruous location in the front garden of a corner property causes visual harm to the open and spacious character of the streetscene, conflicting with development plan policies on character and appearance.
