Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would harmfully disrupt the existing sense of order and character of the area through its cramped, incongruous and uncharacteristic form when viewed from the rear, conflicting with policies SP32, SP55, CS28 and NPPF paragraph 130.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SP32SP55CS28
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
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.
