Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed extension would fail to preserve the character or appearance of the Conservation Area by introducing a building of excessive height that would appear incongruous and dominating compared to the subservient outbuildings characteristic of the area, and the limited public benefits would not outweigh this less than substantial harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CS4CS5
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.
