Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the dwelling as proposed to be amended on the character and appearance of the area, including the St Johns Rowlands Hill Conservation Area

What the Inspector cited

- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 215
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.
