Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The character and appearance of the site and surrounding area
- The provision of private amenity space
What decided it
The proposed bungalow, being small-scale and subject to conditions requiring matching materials and landscape planting, would not unduly harm the character and appearance of the area or the amenity of neighbours, and the loss of amenity space to No.16 was acceptable given the poor configuration of the existing garden.
