Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the conditions are reasonable and necessary, having regard to the effect on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

What decided it

The conditions restricting the development were found to be unreasonable and unnecessary in the interests of character and appearance, as the proposed dormer would be acceptable in design terms and the removal of permitted development rights lacked clear justification given the existing variety in the streetscene.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
SS1UD1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 54

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
