Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed garage's prominent position close to the front boundary with insufficient space for soft landscaping would create unacceptable visual harm to the spacious and sylvan character of the street scene, conflicting with local plan policy and the SPD guidance that garages should be inconspicuously sited.

Development plan policies
CP29Policy 5
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 131Paragraph 135
