Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area
What decided it
The modest size and context of the proposed dormer within the existing varied street scene meant that applying the SPD threshold mechanically would be unduly arbitrary, and the proposal would not cause harm to character and appearance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BH1 of the Core Strategy and Development Plan 2020
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.
