Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed extension on the character and appearance of the property
What decided it
The extension's design derives from and reflects the original architectural principles of the dwelling, continuing its horizontal emphasis and glazing strategy, thereby appearing as a natural evolution rather than an incongruous addition despite its substantial scale.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy SP19 of the Selby District Core Strategy
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.
