Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling, and the surrounding area
  • The development's effect on the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers, with particular regard to any loss of light or outlook

What decided it

The front boundary enclosure incorporating metal gates was found to be visually obtrusive and incongruous with the street scene, necessitating its removal, while the extensions and rendering to the dwelling itself were acceptable and permission was granted for those elements.

Plan policies cited: Core Strategy policy 8, Local Plan saved policy EN1
