Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether retention of condition 5 is necessary having regard to the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The existing context of the residential area, where first-floor extensions are a common feature and neighbouring properties have similar two-storey extensions, meant that the proposed one-metre increase in depth would not harm character and appearance and therefore condition 5 was not necessary.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy QP3 of the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Borough Local Plan 2013-2033Principle 10.1 of the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Borough Wide Design Guide 25 June 2020
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.
