Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The carport's prominent siting forward of the building line, large scale, and solid timber elevations made it visually intrusive and incongruous within the open and spacious character of the locality, causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance that outweighed any economic benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 10 of the Aligned Core Strategy (2014)Policy 17 of the Broxtowe Part 2 Local Plan (2019)
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.
