Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host property and the wider area
What decided it
The cumulative scale and massing of the proposed extensions, when combined with existing alterations, would result in a visually dominant form that would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the host property and the wider street scene, conflicting with local plan policies requiring development to be subordinate and respect the design of the original house.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BE1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part One – Strategic Policies (Adopted 2012)Policy DMHD1 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two – Development Management Policies (Adopted 2020)Policy DMHB11 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two – Development Management Policies (Adopted 2020)Policy DMHB12 of the Hillingdon Local Plan: Part Two – Development Management Policies (Adopted 2020)
