Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene within which it sits
What decided it
The proposed mansard roof extension would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene by disrupting the broadly consistent roofline of the group of similar dwellings, conflicting with adopted policy and the SPD.
The arguments advanced by the appellant did not outweigh the harm to character and appearance and the policy conflict identified.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D4 of the London PlanPolicy LP1 of the adopted Hackney Local Plan
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.
