Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development subject to the notice on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The distinctive hung tile band between ground and first floor windows is a unifying streetscene feature; its loss and replacement with industrial-looking steel panelling, combined with disproportionate window and door alterations, causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance, whereas the rear extension's limited public visibility and consistency with local building patterns renders it acceptable.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 7.4Policy 7BPolicy D3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12
