Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling
What decided it
The very small depth of the extension in a position essentially unseen from the public realm, combined with the practical impracticalities of alternative designs, outweighed the design concerns about the flat roof.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM2 of the Island Plan Core Strategy 2012
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12
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.
