Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers with particular regard to privacy, outlook and light
What decided it
The bulk, massing and form of the proposed dormer and balcony would cause unacceptable harm to both the distinctive character and appearance of the terraced block and the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers.
The proposal conflicted with the development plan and Framework as a whole with no other considerations that outweighed this conflict.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy C15Policy DM20Policy DM23
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
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.
