Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
  • Whether the proposal would provide satisfactory living conditions for future occupiers

What decided it

The proposed bungalow would appear as a discordant and visually intrusive form of development incompatible with the spacious pattern and distinctive rhythm of the existing row of similar bungalows, causing significant harm to character and appearance that outweighed the satisfactory living conditions that could be provided.
