Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the appeal site is a suitable location for the proposed development, having regard to character and appearance and the pattern of development

What decided it

The appeal site's direct access to the public highway, flanking by existing residential development, and the varied character of the locality which already accommodates diverse architectural styles meant the proposed development would not result in detrimental impact on settlement character or appearance.
