Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of both the appeal property and the area
- the effect on the living conditions of the occupants of number 58 Manor Road, with regard to outlook
What decided it
The projecting front extension would appear as an incongruous and bulky addition that fails to blend in with its surroundings and would appear overbearing to the neighbouring occupiers.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HQ1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
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.
