Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surrounding area

What decided it

The significant harm to the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area caused by the bulky and incongruous dormer windows significantly and demonstrably outweighs the moderate benefits of delivering one additional dwelling, even under the tilted balance test.

The moderate and meaningful weight given to housing supply benefits and limited weight to economic benefits were significantly and demonstrably outweighed by the significant weight given to the conflict with design policies and the harm to character and appearance

Framework references: 11, 12

Plan policies cited: CS1, PSP38, PSP39
