Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that removing condition 3 would have on the character, appearance and significance of the Linkfield Street Conservation Area
What decided it
The substantial distance of the extension from the public highway, combined with effective screening by the existing hedge and approved additional tree planting, means that the window material would not be visibly discernible from public views, and therefore aluminium windows would not harm the conservation area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy NHE9
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.
