Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal upon the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The particular site context, including the stagger of buildings and adjacent tennis club, meant that the lack of subservience would not harm character, and requiring a setback would cause greater harm by disrupting the architectural integrity of the existing porch.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DM1P3Policy 5.1
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.
