Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The proposed increased height of the garage roof would disrupt the host building to outbuilding relationship that characterises the area, causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance in conflict with Policy D1, with no material considerations of sufficient weight to outweigh this harm.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1
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.
