The officer assessed the critical issue as impact on the streetscene, noting general policy against new hardstanding exceeding 50% of front garden to prevent a 'car park' appearance.
General Policy 2
Requires development in residential zoning to respect site/surroundings in siting, scale, design; not adversely affect character, amenity, road safety, or parking. Officer assessed the retrospective hardstanding as compliant despite exceeding 50% garden guidance, due to parking benefits outweighing minor streetscene impact in this constrained location.
