Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling and that of the local area
  • Whether the proposal would be incidental to the enjoyment of the dwelling house
  • The effect on living condition of occupiers with reference to amenity space

What decided it

The proposal, being of modest scale with recessive appearance and creating only incidental living space, would result in no harm to character and appearance and no significant harm to living conditions, thereby according with relevant development plan policies and the NPPF.

Framework references: 12, 58

Plan policies cited: Policy LLP1, Policy LLP19, Policy LLP25, Annexe 6
