Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the host property
What decided it
The proposed extension's modern design with half-hipped roof, roof lantern and extensive glazing would be an unsympathetic and discordant addition that fails to reflect the traditional character and form of the barn conversion, resulting in poor design that unacceptably detracts from the host property's character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SWDP 21
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 197
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.
