Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The visual gap that would remain between the extension and the adjacent dwelling at first floor level, combined with the appeal property's set back position and the subservient appearance of the extension relative to its bulkier neighbour, meant that the lack of first floor set back would not result in a cramped or prominent streetscene effect.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy H16Policy CP3Policy CP4
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.
