Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and area, including on the Mark Hall North Conservation Area
What decided it
The removal of the brick steps as part of the driveway extension would result in less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area that was not outweighed by the public benefits of improved accessibility, as alternative solutions to achieve step-free access had not been ruled out.
