Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area
What decided it
The proposed large rear dormer would be a highly dominant and incongruous addition to the dwelling, appearing as a bulky 'box like' addition to the roof that would be harmful to the character and appearance of the dwelling and surrounding area, contrary to development plan policies requiring high quality design that respects local context.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CP18 of the Tandridge District Core StrategyPolicy DP7 of the Tandridge District Local Plan Part 2: Detailed Policies 2014 – 2029
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.
