Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that varying condition 2 to amend the plans in relation to the garage would have on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The proposed garage, despite increased height, would appear subservient to surrounding development and would result in only a limited increase in prominence due to the replacement of the bulky pitched roof with a narrower gable-fronted design.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies
Policy CS41 of the Bournemouth Local Plan Core Strategy 2012Policy CS16 of the Bournemouth Local Plan: Core Strategy (October 2012)

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.
