Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area
the living conditions of the occupiers of 16 Ballinska Mews, having particular regard to outlook and light

What decided it

The two storey front gable extension would appear as an incongruous, prominent and dominating feature that would be unsympathetic to the form and scale of the existing dwelling and would detract from the character and appearance of the surrounding area, in conflict with the development plan with no material considerations to outweigh this harm.

The harm to character and appearance was not outweighed by any other considerations, including the provisions of the Framework.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy SD4 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy (2017)Policy A9 of the Pre-Submission Gloucester City Plan (2019)Policy SD14 of the Gloucester, Cheltenham and Tewkesbury Joint Core Strategy (2017)
