Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying the condition would have on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The 2-storey rear extension would not be subordinate in scale or proportion to the original dwelling and would have a harmful urbanising effect on the character and appearance of the countryside area, conflicting with development plan policies and the Framework.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: DM2, DM24, CS5
