Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed front porch and rear extension upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and its surroundings

What decided it

The front porch's excessive depth and bulk, far exceeding design guidance and making it an incongruous dominant addition, contrasted with the rear extension's appropriate scale and design that respects the host dwelling and surroundings.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy PL1 of the Harlow Local Development Plan 2020
