Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the unauthorised development on the character and appearance of the bungalow and the surrounding area
- The effect on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to outlook and natural light
What decided it
The relatively limited increase in overall height and massing of the enlarged structure, combined with its subordinate visual relationship to the bungalow and low-profile roof form, resulted in no unacceptable harm to character, appearance, or neighbouring living conditions.
