Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and locality
What decided it
The flat-topped rear dormer extension would be an overly dominant and discordant feature unacceptably at odds with the pitched roof character of the host dwelling and locality, conflicting with Policy BE2 and the NPPF.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BE2 of the Vale of Aylesbury Local Plan
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
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.
