Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the carport upon the existing building and the character and appearance of the greater locality
  • The living conditions of No.73C/D Bourne Road, with particular consideration to access to light

What decided it

The carport's excessive size, prominent location in the front garden, and dominance within the street scene would harm local character and appearance, and would cause significant loss of light to the neighbouring property's only window, contrary to the Development Plan.
