Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed extensions and alterations on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, the street scene of Carpenters Wood Drive and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed hip to gable roof alteration, combined with the front dormers and double gabled side elevations, would materially harm the character and appearance of the host dwelling and be incongruous in the street scene, conflicting with Policies CP1, CP12, DM1 and the Chorleywood Neighbourhood Plan Policy 2.

Plan policies cited: Policy CP1, Policy CP12, Policy DM1, Appendix 2, Policy 2 of the Chorleywood Neighbourhood Development Plan 2020-2035
