Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development as built upon the character and appearance of the host building and surrounding area
What decided it
The development as built causes harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area by appearing as an incongruous and visually dominant addition that is not subservient to the host dwelling, contrary to adopted design policies.
Plan policies cited: Policy ENV3 (Design Quality) of the Black Country Core Strategy, Policy SAD EOS9 (Urban Design Principles) of the Site Allocations and Delivery Development Plan Document
