Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Roade Conservation Area
What decided it
The garage's incongruous form, materials and scale would cause modest harm to the significance of non-designated heritage assets and fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Roade Conservation Area, with insufficient public benefit to justify this harm.
