Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed extension would be a modest, subservient addition that would not conflict with NPPF paragraph 124(e) or local policy S.DH1 given the varied roofline context and the extension's design characteristics of being set back and constructed from neutral materials.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy S.DH1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 124

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.
