Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed outbuilding would dominate the site and appear uncomfortably squeezed in and incongruous relative to the host dwelling and surrounding context, thereby harming the character and appearance of the appeal site and surrounding area contrary to local plan policies and NPPF guidance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CP29 of the East Hampshire District Local Plan Joint Core Strategy (2014)Policy DE2 of the Alton Neighbourhood Plan (2021)

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.
