Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • the effect of the proposed development on highway safety

What decided it

The building's use as a separate, independent unit of accommodation within a small plot and curtilage would be incongruous and out of character with the surrounding area's pattern of development, combined in Appeal A with unacceptable highway safety impacts from lack of on-site parking.
