Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed bungalow on the character of the area
What decided it
The proposed bungalow would significantly compromise the openness and spacing that is important to the character of Harvey Close by sitting very close to No. 7 and requiring car parking in the front garden.
The modest housing contribution and self-build status were outweighed by the significant harm to the character of the area through loss of spacing between buildings.
What the Inspector cited
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 69
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.
