Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the bungalow and the surrounding area
- Whether there is an increased risk of flooding
- The effect on the living conditions of existing and future occupiers of neighbouring residential property, having regard to outlook and natural light
What decided it
The extension's excessive height relative to the approved scheme and the bungalow's eaves line, combined with the hardstanding's visual dominance and inadequate drainage, causes unacceptable harm to character and appearance and increases flood risk in conflict with the Development Plan.
