Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the appeal proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
What decided it
The improvements to the design of the host property and its varied local context meant that the conflict with SPD guidance would not be so significant as to justify refusal of planning permission.
The benefits of improved design and appearance of the host property outweighed the conflict with the Design Guidance SPD, given the varied character of the surrounding area and existing screening.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS17 of the Fareham Local Development Framework Core Strategy (2011)
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.
