Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene
What decided it
The variety in scale and design already existing on the street, combined with the contemporary quality of the proposed design, meant that the extension would not be visually harmful or out of place despite not being subordinate to the existing dwelling.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy QE7 Warrington Borough Council's Local Plan Core Strategy (Adopted July 2014)
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.
