Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the street scene within which it sits
What decided it
The two storey projecting gable would breach the established building line of the terrace and introduce an unduly dominant and incongruous feature that would harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene, conflicting with Policy ENV3.
The harm to character and appearance outweighed the arguments advanced by the appellant, resulting in dismissal of the appeal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV3
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.
