Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and area in general
What decided it
The scale and design of the proposed hip to gable extensions with dormers would be incongruous to the host property and appear as bulky features in the surrounding area due to the prominent corner position, thereby harming character and appearance contrary to development plan policies and NPPF guidance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy PNP4 of the Upper Poppleton and Nether Poppleton Neighbourhood Plan 2016-2036Policy D11 of the City of York Local Plan Publication Draft (February 2018)
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.
