Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposal on highway safety
  • The effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and its surroundings

What decided it

The fallback position that permitted development alternatives could have similar or worse impacts on character and appearance, combined with the modest scale of the proposed extensions, rendered the scheme acceptable on balance despite some design conflict with local policies.
