Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The substantial increase in bulk, height and massing would result in an unduly dominant and conspicuous appearance at odds with the low-key, unobtrusive character of surrounding development, causing harmful impact on the rural character of the area.
The personal benefits to the appellants of providing additional family accommodation were outweighed by the harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area and conflict with Policy DEC1.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DEC1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 218
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.
