Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether adherence with condition 3 is necessary having regard to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The use of dark grey smooth tiles and similarly coloured windows creates an unacceptable impact on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, contrary to Policy CH3 and the Council's Urban Design SPD, and adherence to condition 3 is therefore required.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CH3 of the Crawley Borough Local Plan 2015-2030
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 135
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.
