Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area.

What decided it

The presence of similar two-storey front extensions and dormer windows in the vicinity, combined with the varied character of the street scene, meant the proposed development would not unduly detract from the character and appearance of the dwelling and area.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy 10 of the Greater Nottingham Aligned Core Strategies Part 1 Local Plan (2014)Policy LPD 43 of the Gedling Borough Local Planning Document Part 2 Local Plan (2018)
