Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • effect on the character and appearance of the local area
  • provision of parking for the donor dwelling

What decided it

The proposed parking provision for the donor dwelling would not be practically achievable and would either obstruct access to the dwelling, prevent bin storage, or create a hazard on the public footpath, conflicting with development plan policies on parking and storage.
