Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area, with particular regard to the revised porch design
- trees, having regard to the proposed relocation of the outbuilding
What decided it
The revised porch design would be uncharacteristically prominent and would harm the special character and group value of the Radlett bungalows protected by neighbourhood plan policy HD7, and insufficient evidence was provided to demonstrate that the outbuilding relocation would not harm nearby trees.
Plan policies cited: Policy HD7 of The Radlett Neighbourhood Development Plan 2020 to 2036, Policy CS22 of the Core Strategy 2013, Policy SADM30 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan 2016, Policy SADM12 of the Site Allocations and Development Management Policies Plan 2016, Policy CS12 of the Core Strategy
