Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area

What decided it

The modest scale, simple design, and visual subordination of the link extension, combined with its location between existing buildings within the developed residential area rather than open countryside, meant it would not unacceptably harm character and appearance despite exceeding the Policy C5C floor space threshold.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy C5C

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.
