Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The specific circumstances of the site, including the existing ground floor linkage to the neighbour and the difference in roof heights, meant that the 0.5m gap combined with visual breaks would be sufficient to avoid a continuous frontage appearance contrary to SPD guidance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy EN1 of the Council's Core Strategy and Policies Development Plan Document (2009)
