Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area including whether the proposal would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Hythe Conservation Area and the setting of the Grade II listed 112 and 112A High Street
- the effect on protected trees
What decided it
The incongruous design of the car port with solar panels and unbalanced porch, combined with insufficient evidence regarding protection of the TPO trees, meant the proposal would cause less than substantial harm to the conservation area and listed building setting which was not outweighed by the limited public benefits.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy HB1
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 212Paragraph 215
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.
