Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed rear elevation and dormer would not appear uncharacteristic or incongruous within the street scene given similar pitched roof features on neighbouring properties, and the site's existing boundary screening would limit visual prominence.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- BLP Policy BE14BLP Policy BE02BLP Policy BE11BLP Policy BE13
- 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.
