Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effects of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
  • whether the proposal would provide acceptable living conditions for future occupiers with regard to living space

What decided it

The proposal would significantly harm the character and appearance of the host property and the street scene by disrupting the consistent roofscape and appearing as an incongruous, bulky addition, and would fail to provide acceptable living conditions due to substantial shortfalls in internal floor space against adopted space standards.

Plan policies cited: Policy CS2, Policy CS15, Policy CS13, Policy DM4, Policy DM29, Policy DM7, Policy DM32, Policy D6
