Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the host property and its setting

What decided it

The modest visual impact of the tarmac driveway, combined with public benefits from enabling on-site parking and reducing obstructions on Lemna Road, outweighed any potential harm to the non-designated heritage asset's setting.
