Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the living conditions of occupiers of the dwelling with respect to parking provision and private garden amenity space
What decided it
The proposed extension would not create additional bedroom space and therefore would not increase demand on parking or amenity space beyond what the site could accommodate, and the existing garden space met the Council's own flexible design criteria for smaller gardens.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Local Plan Part 1: Rushcliffe Core Strategy, 2014Policy 1 of the Local Plan Part 2: Land and Planning Policies, 2014
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.
