Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the setting of the Geldeston Conservation Area

What decided it

The sheds' modest scale, subservient appearance, careful siting set back from the street, and integration with the domestic character of the area, combined with their neutral effect on the conservation area setting, justified allowing the appeal.
