Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The outbuilding's size and position make it an incongruous, overly prominent and intrusive feature that significantly harms the character and appearance of the communal area by reducing its open appearance.
The development plan conflicts were not outweighed by any material considerations, and the appeal was dismissed in accordance with the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS 28 of the Rotherham Local Plan Core Strategy 2013 – 2028Policy SP 55 of the Rotherham Local Plan Sites and Policies
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.
