Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed two-storey side extension on the character and appearance of the area and neighbouring properties
What decided it
The proposed extension achieves a noticeable setback and break in the ridgeline within a different street context (adjacent to a detached property rather than a row of semi-detached properties), which is sufficient to avoid a terracing effect and ensure the proposal accords with Policy HS11 as a whole and NPPF design objectives.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HS11 of the Wirral Unitary Development Plan (Including Minerals and Waste Policies), 2000
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.
