Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the surrounding area
What decided it
The enlarged dwelling would cause unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the dwelling and its surroundings through its substantial scale, massing and height, which would not sit comfortably in relation to the adjoining dwellings and would appear as an incongruous feature in the street scene.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP13DS1MTRA3DM15DM16
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 126Paragraph 130
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.
