Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Its effect on highway safety

The proposal would integrate with the host dwelling and its surroundings in an unassuming manner without harming character and appearance, and would not increase parking demand as the number of bedrooms remains unchanged.
