Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Conservation Area
- Whether a safe access would be provided onto Butts Road
- If any harm is caused in respect of the above issues whether such harm is outweighed by the appellant's personal circumstances and need for the proposed development
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Conservation Area caused by removal of the boundary wall and introduction of hardstanding and parked vehicles, combined with the failure to provide safe access with adequate visibility splays, outweighs the public benefits and personal circumstances advanced.
