Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The additional impact of the present scheme, over and above the approved scheme under reference 2020/91622, on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
What decided it
The existence of the extant planning permission (2020/91622) as a fallback position, combined with the unilateral undertaking to maintain the screening hedge and the minimal additional visual impact of the 2m extra depth, meant the development did not unduly harm character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP24 of the Kirklees Local Plan Strategy and Policies adopted February 2019
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.
