Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring residents with particular regard to noise and disturbance

What decided it

The development's harmful effect on the character and appearance of the area, caused by the prominence of timber and plastic materials, the high close-boarded fence extending around the entire boundary, and the shelter extending to the footpath on a corner plot, outweighs the absence of harm to neighbouring living conditions.
