Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host building and the area

What decided it

The proposed glazed turret feature at second floor level on the front elevation would be at odds with the roofscape of the appeal dwelling and neighbouring properties, resulting in unacceptable adverse impact on the character and appearance of the host building and the area.

Framework references: 135

Plan policies cited: Policy JP-P1 of the Places for Everyone Joint Development Plan, Policy OA4 of the Council's Core Strategy
