Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area
What decided it
The proposed hipped roof form would introduce yet another roof form at odds with the predominant pitched roofs and gabled ends of the area and, given the prominent corner position, would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and area.
The benefits of providing additional family accommodation and making best use of urban land do not outweigh the significant harm to character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP2BP2BP11D1D4
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.
