Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposal would represent permitted development given the presence of side elevation windows
- the effect of the proposed development upon the external appearance of the building
What decided it
The presence of side elevation windows renders the development non-compliant with permitted development criteria, and the resulting two-storey form would unacceptably erode the open character of the area and conflict with design policies protecting bungalows.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS22 of the Hertsmere Core Strategy (2023)Policy HD3 of the Radlett Neighbourhood Plan (2021)Policy HD7 of the Radlett Neighbourhood Plan (2021)
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.
