Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the appeal property, its immediate surroundings and the rural character and appearance of the area
  • Effect of the proposal on highway safety and convenience, bearing in mind the size of the proposed parking spaces

What decided it

The subservient design of the proposed two-storey extension with its lower ridge line and setback, combined with the visual screening of existing extensions and the ability to condition additional parking provision, outweighed the breach of the 60% floorspace guidance which lacks the weight of policy.
