Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed side extension on the character and appearance of Drayton Park
What decided it
The retention of key landscaping features, the subservient single-storey design, and the substantial set-back from the road frontage meant the extension would not harm the character and appearance of Drayton Park despite breaching the SPD's 5m separation guidance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV10 of the Settlements and Countryside Local Plan (Part 2) for Daventry District 2011-2029
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 127
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.
