Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect varying the condition would have on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The combination of the modest increase in height, the building's position set into the slope with setback from the road, surrounding mature tree screening, and the mixed character of the surrounding area meant the proposal would not be an incongruous or unsympathetic addition to the locality.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DMG1
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.
