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 extension would be flush with the front wall and roof of the existing two-storey element, conflicting with SPD guidance and creating a terracing effect that would harm the character and appearance of the area by eliminating sufficient visual relief between the extended dwelling and the neighbouring property.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DM10
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 134
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.
