Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and the area
What decided it
The proposed extension would be over 3 metres in width and more than half the width of the existing dwelling, resulting in a visually oppressive and incongruous addition that would unacceptably erode the uniform architectural character of Hylton Avenue.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DM1SPD9 Part 7
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.
