Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area in relation to its scale, form, and massing
What decided it
The property's location on a quiet cul-de-sac and the careful design of the dormer, which would not dominate the front roof slope and would align well with ground floor windows, meant that despite conflict with SPD guidance, the proposal would not be detrimental to character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy P10 of the Core Strategy Selective Review (2019)Policy GP5 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (2006)Policy BD6 of the Leeds Unitary Development Plan (2006)Policy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document
