Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the Ogbourne St George Conservation Area
What decided it
The incongruous design of the flat-roofed dormer would harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the modest internal benefit to the dwelling does not outweigh this harm in the context of the statutory presumption against development that fails to preserve or enhance a conservation area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- CP57CP58
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 215Paragraph 245
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.
