Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect on the character and appearance of the appeal dwelling and that of the local area
  • The living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers

What decided it

The existing visual variety and limited design cohesion in the local streetscene, combined with the design approach using hipped roofs and dormers that mirrors other recent extensions in the area, meant the proposal would not appear incongruous and would accord with design guidance.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CS19 of the Gravesham Local Plan Core Strategy (2014)
