Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed car port on the character and appearance of the street scene

What decided it

The car port's modest scale, appropriate positioning, limited visual impact due to boundary screening, and lack of material harm to the street scene outweighed the concern that it would be an uncharacteristic feature.
