Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the pre-existing extended dwelling and on the local area (ground (a))
  • Whether the time stipulated for compliance is unreasonably short (ground (g))

What decided it

The development's failure to achieve the required subordinate ancillary effect to the original dwelling and its poor design in relation to local character, contrary to the development plan, with no material considerations warranting a decision otherwise than in accordance with the plan.
