Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the host dwelling and wider area
What decided it

What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 28 of the Richmond upon Thames 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.
