Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the local area, having particular regard to the setting and the significance of the adjoining Long Wittenham Conservation Area

What decided it

The combination of the car port's restricted height, open-sided nature, hipped gable roof, and visual obscuration by mature vegetation meant it would not be detrimental to the character and appearance of the area or harm to the adjacent Conservation Area.
