Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene as well as the openness of the area

What decided it

The proposal would disrupt the established design and character of the street scene by introducing an incongruous and visually prominent garage structure that fails to respect the characteristic hipped-roof design and subservient nature of double garages within the estate.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: Policy SD4, Policy RES10
