Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effects of the amended plans and thus the development on the character or appearance of the Aldbrough St John Conservation Area
- the living conditions of residents of The Nook with regard to outlook and light
What decided it
The harm to the Conservation Area's character and appearance caused by the combination of the porch's positioning, size, and non-traditional cladding material could not be justified by the public benefits, as the approved scheme remained technically feasible despite higher costs.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP12CP13CP4
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 200
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.
