Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the visual amenity of the street scene and the character of the area
What decided it
The prominent location of the outbuilding causes it to appear so incongruous as to be out of keeping with the character of the area and thereby causes significant harm to the street scene.
The absence of harm to residential living conditions, highways and parking was a neutral factor; the significant harm to the street scene and character of the area outweighed any other considerations.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS16 of the Havant Borough Core Strategy (Adopted March 2011)
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.
