Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the long-term future of the countryside and the intrinsic character of the National Park from incremental enlargements having regard to development plan policies relating to the scale of the proposal and the balance of housing stock

What decided it

The small scale of the proposed porch (7.3 square metres) and its subservient, well-designed form would not cause material harm to the character of the National Park or the balance of housing stock despite exceeding the policy's cumulative extension limit.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy DP36

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.
