Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the amenity of adjoining premises, with specific reference to the effect upon the occupiers of the attached dwelling, 83 Gainsborough Road
What decided it
The realistic fallback position of a 3m permitted development extension meant that the additional 0.6m projection would not result in significantly greater harm to neighbouring amenity, particularly given the existing boundary treatment and the single storey nature of the extension.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy QE6 of the Local Plan Core Strategy (July 2014)
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.
