Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider area
What decided it
The proposed dormers would be overly large, dominant additions that would significantly erode the simple design of the host property and disrupt the rhythm and uniformity of the streetscene, conflicting with development plan policies requiring development not to dominate roofscapes and to contribute positively to character.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Broxtowe Aligned Core Strategy (2014)Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Borough Council Part 2 Local Plan (2019)
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.
