Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the proposed developments upon the character and appearance of the area
  • whether the proposed developments would provide satisfactory living conditions for the future occupiers, with regards to private amenity space

What decided it

The proposed bungalow would harm the character and appearance of the area by reducing the sense of openness and space at the junction, appearing cramped and incongruous in the context of the spacious surrounding development, which is a harm that cannot be outweighed by other material considerations.
