Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
What decided it
The isolated position of the host property at the end of the cul-de-sac and its lack of integration into a wider streetscene meant that the proposed full-height extension would not appear out of character with its immediate surroundings, and the conflict with subservience requirements could be resolved through flexible application of policy to the particular circumstances.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D DM1Policy D DM4Arun District Design Guide Supplementary Planning Document section M.01
