Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers of the neighbouring property, 32 Pasture Road
What decided it
The proposed extension fails to meet the design requirements of the Bradford Householder Supplementary Planning Document and would appear as a prominent and incongruous feature in the street due to its lack of subordination to the original dwelling, combined with undemonstrated compliance with living conditions protection standards.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DS1Policy DS3Policy DS5
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.
