Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, and of the surrounding area
What decided it
The development's incongruous size, materials, and design cause harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area that cannot be outweighed by the limited benefits of bin and cycle storage provision.
The limited weight of the benefits of bin storage obscuring and cycle storage provision does not outweigh the harm to character and appearance identified.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D3 of the London Plan (2021)Policy LP1 of the Hackney Local Plan 2033
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.
