Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of 64 Courtenay Road, with particular regard to whether the development would be unacceptably overbearing
What decided it
The proposed extension would create an unduly dominant and lengthy two storey element with insufficient architectural detailing and window spacing to integrate satisfactorily into the street scene, thereby unacceptably harming the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS21
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.
