Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- the effect of the proposed development on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers
What decided it
The varied character of the surrounding area, which includes numerous altered bungalows with extensions and dormers, meant the proposed hip-to-gable roof conversion with dormers would not appear out of keeping and would enhance rather than harm the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS41
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 134
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.
