Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The impact of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The large, stark and prominent north-facing side elevation of the proposed dwelling would appear as an obtrusive feature within the street scene and cause harm to the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with design policies and paragraph 135 of the Framework.
Framework references: 135
Plan policies cited: Policy CP1 of the Local Development Framework - Core Strategy Adopted Version (2011), Policy DM1 of the Development Management Plan (2014), Policy DM3 of the Development Management Plan (2014), Supplementary Planning Document 2 – Housing Design (2007)
