Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sunk Island Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposal would unacceptably diminish the symmetry and carefully considered detailing of the semi-detached pair of cottages that characterises the Conservation Area, and the private benefits of the extension do not outweigh this less than substantial harm to the heritage asset.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy ENV1 (Integrating high quality design)Policy ENV3 (Valuing our heritage)
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.
