Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed side/rear extension, including the blocking up and replacement of the front door, on the character and appearance of the host cottage and surrounding area
What decided it
The combined width and scale of the proposed gable extension would appear dominant and disproportionate, making the extension an incongruous and visually jarring addition that would unbalance the original composition of the terrace and cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the street scene.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy QE7 of the Warrington Local Plan Core Strategy (2014)
- 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.
