Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The scale and the extent of the proposed development in relation to the site
What decided it
The small additional width of the ground floor rear extension, being only a minor exceedance of SPD4 guidance and located at the rear of the dwelling, did not constitute inappropriate overdevelopment justifying refusal.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- SPD4 – Householder Alterations and Extensions Guidance
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.
