Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, in terms of outlook, light, enclosure, overshadowing and access
What decided it
The proposal would significantly harm both the character and appearance of the area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants through poor design, cramped siting, and loss of private access and light to No 1, conflicting with the development plan.
The limited housing supply benefit of a single dwelling was outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and to neighbouring living conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PH11 of the Doncaster Unitary Development Plan (July 1998)Policy CS14 of the Doncaster Core Strategy (May 2012)Development Guidance and Requirements Supplementary Planning Document (July 2015)
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.
