Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and the streetscene, with specific regard to its potential to create a terracing effect
What decided it
The existing gable roof form on the neighbouring property No. 7 and the already-altered symmetry of the pair meant that the hip to gable conversion would not cause undue harm to character and appearance or create an additional terracing effect.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H14 of the Sheffield Unitary Development Plan (1998)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130
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.
