Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the vehicular use of the area at the front of the appeal site on highway safety within Manor Road
- The effect of the demolition of the boundary wall and metal railings on the character and appearance of the street-scene within Manor Road
- The effect of the outbuilding on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The vehicular use of the front area creates unacceptable highway safety risks due to limited visibility and inability to turn within the site, and the loss of the boundary wall and railings has caused harmful erosion of the street-scene character.
