Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the streetscene
- the effect of the proposed development on highway safety, regarding provision of off-street parking
What decided it
The proposed roof lift would cause undue prominence and be an incongruous feature in the streetscene by disrupting the marked step down in ridge levels along the row of four detached dwellings, which harm was not outweighed by minor benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H14Policy BE5Policy CS74
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 111
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.
