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 subservient design of the extension, combined with the site's particular context (the bend in the road, the orientation and gap between neighbouring semi-detached dwellings, and the large paved amenity space), meant that despite technical non-compliance with the SPD width guidance, the proposal would not materially harm character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP 55
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 124Paragraph 130
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.
