Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development upon the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The limited visibility and screening of the proposed elements, combined with the mixed character of the local area, means the development does not result in harm to character and appearance despite the flat roof design differing from the existing hipped roof.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy EN4
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.
