Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the locality
What decided it
The corner plot location and orientation of the property meant it did not read as visually linked to neighbouring dwellings, allowing for a different design approach, and the thoughtfully selected materials and modest visual impact of the extension would not harm the character and appearance of the locality or the non-designated heritage asset.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HC1 of the London Plan 2021Policy CS8 of the Council's Core StrategyPolicy DM10 of the Council's Core Strategy
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.
