Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development proposed on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The scale, massing and detailed design of the proposal would result in a dominant and incongruous addition to the host property to the detriment of the street scene, conflicting with development plan policies and NPPF guidance on well-designed development sympathetic to local character.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- GP5BD6P10P12HDG1
