Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the building and surrounding area
- The living conditions of existing and future occupants with particular regard to the level of internal living space
What decided it
The modest scale, discrete positioning, and visual containment of the extensions against existing built form, combined with the fact that internal room size concerns relate to works unlikely to require planning permission, justified allowing the appeal despite the flat roof design departing from guidance.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DMP1 of the London Borough of Brent Local Plan 2019-2041 (2022)Policy D6 of the London Plan (2021)
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.
