Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and area
What decided it
The substantial scale and massing of the extension would create a visually dominant addition that would fundamentally alter the character and proportions of the host dwelling and, given its prominent corner-plot location, would appear as an overly large and incongruous addition to the detriment of the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area.
The limited benefits of approving the proposed development would be substantially outweighed by adverse effects, when assessed against the national decision-making policies in the Framework, and the presumption in favour of sustainable development set out in policies S3 and S4 of the Framework does not apply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy DC1
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.
