Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the appearance of the streetscene
What decided it
The outbuilding's incongruous siting and size, visible from the streetscene and poorly related to existing properties, results in unacceptable harm to the appearance of the streetscene in conflict with development plan policies and the Framework.
The benefits to the appellants' employment from home working were outweighed by the unacceptably harmful effect on the streetscene.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BE1Policy DMHB 11Policy DMHB 12Policy DMHD 2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
