Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The proposal would appear as an unduly large, dominant and unsympathetic feature that would overwhelm the host property and stand out incongruously in the uniform street scene, causing harm to character and appearance that cannot be outweighed by the benefit of future-proofing living arrangements.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy LP1Policy LP2Policy LP24
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 127
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.
