Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory carbon reduction, sustainable drainage and water efficiency measures

What decided it

The proposed bungalow would harm the character and appearance of the area by introducing an incongruous single-storey form that conflicts with the established two-storey scale and spacious character of Redford Avenue.
