Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
- whether the proposal would result in acceptable living conditions for future occupants with regard to amenity space provision
What decided it
The proposal would result in a harmful, cramped pattern of development with a dominant addition to the street scene that would be incongruous to the prevailing spacious character of the area, contrary to development plan policies on character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 1 of the Heacham Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2017-2036Policy 5 of the Heacham Parish Neighbourhood Plan 2017-2036Policy CS08 of the King's Lynn & West Norfolk Borough Council Local Development Framework - Core StrategyPolicy DM15 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan
