Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the area

What decided it
The proposal retains the key character features of the area (setback position, pitched roof, sense of space) while adding to the existing trend of modern design preferences, and does not harm neighbouring living conditions due to the extension's positioning and the bungalow's layout.

- Policy HE2
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 127
