What decided it
The appeal property's unusual width and generous plot size, combined with the neighbouring property already displaying a gable and rear dormer, meant the proposed development would not represent an unacceptable or precedent-setting change to the character and appearance of the locality.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 33 of the Chichester Local PlanPolicy P7 of the Emerging Local Plan
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.
