Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surroundings
What decided it
The proposed bungalow would be significantly nearer to the roadway than existing buildings and would erode the openness of the street pattern, creating a cramped environment that would be plainly harmful to the character and appearance of the surroundings, outweighing the benefits of providing a new dwelling.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- QL9QL11SPL3
- 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.
