Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area
What decided it
The proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the host building and local area through its non-subordinate scale, awkward visual relationship, and discordant material contrast, conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF guidance.
Plan policies cited: Policy CS16 of the Blackburn with Darwen Core Strategy, Policy 11 of the Local Plan Part 2, Policy RES 1E of the Council's Residential Design Guide SPD, Policy RES 7E of the Council's Residential Design Guide SPD, Policy RES 8 of the Council's Residential Design Guide SPD
