Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling and that of the local area
What decided it
The change of roof form to a half hipped gable end would be unduly prominent and visually obtrusive in views from the street, standing in contrast with the established hipped roof forms of the local area and thereby causing significant harm to character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DP2DP7
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12
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.
