Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the area along Wednesbury Drive
  • Highway safety along Wednesbury Drive by way of impact on parking provision

What decided it

The proposal would likely increase pressure for parking on the highway due to insufficient on-site parking provision for a 5-bedroom property, thereby harming highway safety and conflicting with Policy ENV8.
