Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area
What decided it
The proposed extension's excessive scale, siting and massing, combined with the loss of a semi-mature cherry tree without adequate replacement planting, would significantly harm the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area contrary to development plan policies.
Plan policies cited: Policy 9 of the Oldham Local Development Framework Development Plan Document – Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2011), Policy 20 of the Oldham Local Development Framework Development Plan Document – Joint Core Strategy and Development Management Policies (2011), Policy D1.5 of the Oldham Metropolitan Borough Unitary Development Plan
