Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the extensions on the character and appearance of the existing house and the surrounding area
What decided it
The three-storey height of the proposed side extension would be at odds with the two-storey character of the surrounding area and its bulk, width, and white render finish would make it unduly prominent in the street scene, causing harmful effects on character and appearance that cannot be mitigated by conditions.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H16Policy CP3Policy CP4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 2Paragraph 20
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.
