Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The siting of the carport forward of the dwelling would introduce a visually prominent structure that harms the open character of the area and conflicts with the established pattern of development where outbuildings are generally located to the side or rear.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy EM10 of the Basingstoke and Deane Local Plan 2011–2029
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 12

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.
