Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effects of the proposed development on the character and appearance of Katherine Drive
  • The living conditions of future occupants of the dwelling by way of light and space

What decided it

The proposal's prominent position in the street scene combined with its increased height would make it significantly out of character with the surrounding bungalows, and the internal layout would fail to provide acceptable living conditions for future occupants.
