Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed structure would be an unsympathetic addition in a highly prominent location that would dominate the street frontage and detract from the character of the existing building and surrounding street scene, with any economic or social benefits insufficient to outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM21
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 56
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.
