Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the architectural integrity of the host property and thereby the wider street scene
- whether the proposal, taking into account a previous enlargement, would result in a building which would be unacceptably large in relation to the original dwelling and would thereby undesirably add to pressures for change which are damaging to the future of the countryside
What decided it
The proposed hip to gable roof alterations would cause unacceptable harm to the architectural integrity and character of the host property and street scene, contrary to development plan policy and the NPPF.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DP2Policy DP18Policy DP36
