Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would dominate the original dwelling and fail to appear subservient to it, whilst also exceeding the return building line and causing a loss of openness on the prominent corner, thereby conflicting with the development plan policies that collectively seek to ensure high standards of development harmonising with local context.
The benefits of providing additional living accommodation in an accessible location were outweighed by the significant harm identified to the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area.
Plan policies cited: Policy BE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part 1 – Strategic Policies (2019), Policy DMHD 1 of the Council's Local Plan Part Two – Development Management Policies, Policy DMHB 11 of the Local Plan Part Two – Development Management Policies, Policy DMHB 12 of the Local Plan Part Two – Development Management Policies
