Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The 6 m depth of the proposed rear extension would be uncomfortably out of proportion with the host dwelling and would not respect the prevailing pattern of limited rear projections within the wider housing development, thereby harming character and appearance contrary to the development plan.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy S.DH1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12
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.
