Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed dwelling on the character and appearance of the surrounding area
- the living conditions of the occupiers of the existing nearby dwellings by reason of overlooking and those of future occupiers of the proposed dwelling in relation to the standard of accommodation
What decided it
The harmful effect on character and appearance caused by the constrained nature of the site and the specific requirement for a three-bedroom dormer bungalow, which would necessarily result in an orientation and appearance inconsistent with the surrounding area.
