Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed garage on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the College Conservation Area
  • The adequacy of the proposed parking as regards its size and usability

What decided it

The proposal would cause material harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the College Conservation Area with no public benefits to outweigh that harm.

The less than substantial harm to the conservation area and the host dwelling's appearance outweighed the absence of harm on the parking issue, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
