Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the streetscene
  • The effect on the living conditions of the occupants of number 52 Mansfield Road, with regard to outlook
  • The effect of the proposal on highway safety and on-street parking along Birkland Drive

What decided it

The proposal would appear as a bulky and incongruous addition due to its scale, height and angular relationship with the existing bungalow, and would have an unacceptably overbearing impact on the neighbouring property.
