Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the pair with No. 15 and on the street scenes of Ashford Road and Orchard Way

What decided it

The integrated design approach, which retains visual coordination with the paired dwelling through the half-hipped roof shape and provides a more coherent architectural composition than strict subservience guidance would achieve, outweighs the loss of existing symmetry and the disadvantage of reduced front garden.

Framework references: 12

Plan policies cited: Policy CP17 of the Exeter City Council LDF Core Strategy 2012, Policy DG1 of the Exeter Local Plan First Review 2015
