Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would be a dominant and incongruous addition to the host property and visually intrusive in the street scene, causing harm to the character and appearance of the area that outweighs the limited public benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy EE1 of the Runnymede 2030 Local Plan (2020)
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 12
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.
