Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The canopy's forward positioning directly adjacent to the carriageway and its projection beyond the established building line, combined with its scale and design, result in a visually intrusive form of development that fails to integrate with the prevailing character of the area and causes harm to outlook from neighbouring residential properties.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy QOP1Policy QOP2Policy CNP3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 135
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.
