Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed works on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
  • The effect of the proposed works on highway safety

What decided it

The removal of the front boundary wall and creation of parking space would not harm the character and appearance of the area or create highway safety issues, as the frontage treatments along the road lack consistency and the parking dimensions would be adequate when the bin store is omitted.
