- Procedure

- residential · Householder developments
- Inspector
- Biggers P
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and the surroundings of Lowgate Street
- whether the proposed development would have a detrimental impact on the present and future living conditions of the occupants of the bungalow (Russets) to the rear
What decided it
The scale, mass and height of the proposed extension would be disproportionately large relative to the original cottage and would create an overbearing impact on the neighbouring bungalow Russets, causing unacceptable harm to character and appearance and living conditions.
