Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed development would undermine one of the key unifying design elements of the group of six dwellings by squaring off the chamfered rear corner, thereby eroding the harmony and coherence of the group and causing unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy D1 of the 2017 Camden Local Plan
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.
