Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, particularly the street scene
What decided it
The building line on Windsor Drive is not well defined, which constitutes an exceptional circumstance allowing the side extension to be accommodated as broadly consistent with the pattern of development without causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the street scene.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D11 of the City of York Local Plan 2025
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.
