Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The site-specific circumstances of the appeal property as an end dwelling with a generous plot, combined with the precedent of similar extensions in the area and the already-eroded symmetry of the paired properties, meant the proposal would not unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP12 of the Core Strategy, adopted October 2011Policy DM1 and Appendix 2 of the Development Management Policies Local Development Document, adopted July 2013Policy CA2 and Appendices B and C of the Croxley Green Neighbourhood Plan Referendum Version, adopted December 2018
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.
