Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposals on the character and appearance of the host building and its surroundings
- Parking provision
What decided it
The first floor extension element would be entirely at odds with the simple character and solid-to-void ratio of the townhouses and would cause unacceptable harm to character and appearance, while the loss of garage parking would leave inadequate provision in a constrained layout with potential for cumulative harm if a precedent were set.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DS1Policy DS3Policy DS4Policy TR2Policy INDP5
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.
