Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the street scene
- Whether the proposed development would result in such an overshadowing, overbearing or oppressive form of development as to cause harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residential occupiers of number 49
What decided it
The proposed development would cause harm to the architectural integrity of the host building and the street scene of Old Farm Road and Cobbs Lane by reason of its height, form, massing and materials being incompatible with the vernacular bungalow character of the area.

- Policy PP27
