Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the host property, the immediate surroundings and the Moore Park Conservation Area with regard to visual amenity and overdevelopment
What decided it
The existence of an extant planning permission for a broadly similar extension of two metres depth, which would have essentially the same visual impact, meant that refusing the three-metre proposal would not prevent the harm the Council sought to avoid, making the additional one metre depth acceptable in this context.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DC1Policy DC4Policy DC8
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 199
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.
