Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the roof extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, and of the surrounding area

What decided it

The roof extension would cause substantial harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area by representing a large box-like overdevelopment that would be unsympathetic to the current form and character of the dwelling and those around it.

The harm to character and appearance outweighed all other material considerations, with no benefits identified that would justify the development.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CP17 of the London Borough of Brent Local Development Framework Core Strategy (July 2010)Policy DMP1 of the Brent Development Management Policies (November 2016)

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.
