Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposals on the character and appearance of the surrounding area

What decided it

The side extension's set-back position, low height, corner location, and the retention of a perceptible gap between buildings meant it would not harm the character and appearance of the surrounding area despite exceeding the Householder Design Guide threshold.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy P10 of the Council's Core StrategyPolicy GP5 of the Council's Unitary Development PlanPolicy BD6 of the Council's Unitary Development PlanPolicy HDG1 of the Householder Design Guide

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.
