Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect on the character and appearance of the streetscene and locality

What decided it

The harmful effects on the character and appearance of the streetscene and locality, caused by the unacceptably dominant and visually intrusive two-storey gable feature and the unduly close proximity of rear elevations, outweighed any personal circumstances or housing supply considerations.

The modest benefit of accommodating the appellant's daughter locally was outweighed by the unacceptable harm to character and appearance and the unusual, cramped relationship with adjacent buildings.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DM2 of the Island Plan Isle of Wight Core Strategy (including Waste and Minerals) and Development Management Development Plan Document, March 2012
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 11

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.
