Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the street scene
  • The effect of the proposal on the living conditions of the neighbours at No 22 Chester Crescent, with particular regard to loss of light and outlook

What decided it

The proposed development would introduce excessive bulk and massing, particularly at roof level with a very wide dormer, creating a visually over-dominant and uncomfortable juxtaposition with the adjoining property that would harm the street scene in conflict with Policy LP10 and design guidance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy LP10 of the Gosport Borough Local Plan 2011 – 2029
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 12Paragraph 130
