Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host building and the street scene
What decided it
The proposed porch with dual-pitched roof would be an entirely alien and incongruous addition to the terrace, having an unacceptable effect on the character and appearance of the host building and street scene, and because the porch and side extension are contiguous development, the entire proposal must fail.
What the Inspector cited

- Policy D4 of the London Plan (2021)Policy CP2 of the Planning for the Future of Barking and Dagenham Core Strategy (2010)Policy CP3 of the Planning for the Future of Barking and Dagenham Core Strategy (2010)Policy BP2 of the Planning for the Future of Barking and Dagenham Borough Wide Development Policies Development Plan Document (2011)Policy BP8 of the Planning for the Future of Barking and Dagenham Borough Wide Development Policies Development Plan Document (2011)Policy BP11 of the Planning for the Future of Barking and Dagenham Borough Wide Development Policies Development Plan Document (2011)
