Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area, having regard to whether or not the scheme would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Inkerman Conservation Area
- whether or not the provision of an on-site car parking space would accord with the development plan approach for the promotion of sustainable transport options
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the Inkerman Conservation Area, combined with conflict with sustainable transport policies, was not outweighed by the limited private benefits of on-site EV charging.
