Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the street scene
- The living conditions of neighbouring occupants with regards to overlooking and loss of privacy
What decided it
The proposal would harmfully change the character of the bungalow out of all recognition and damage the distinctive and uniform character and appearance of the street scene, conflicting with the development plan with no material considerations to indicate otherwise.
The absence of harm to living conditions was a neutral factor; the harm to character and appearance of the host dwelling and street scene tipped the balance against the proposal, with no material considerations to outweigh the development plan conflict.
