Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling and that of the local area, with reference to the Eltham Palace Conservation Area
What decided it
The proposed two-storey rear extension would appear dominant and incongruous, with an incompatible roof form that would substantially harm the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling and the Conservation Area, and this harm was not outweighed by the private benefits to occupiers.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DH1DH(a)DH3DH(h)D3HC1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 16
