Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would create a cramped form of development with no gap between the extension and existing outbuilding, materially harming the character and appearance of the area contrary to the development plan.
The adverse impacts of granting planning permission would significantly and demonstrably outweigh the benefits when assessed against the development plan policies, with no material considerations indicating a decision otherwise than in accordance with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP4.1DM10.1Policy D3
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.
