Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the dwelling and this part of Manor Road

What decided it

The proposal would unacceptably harm the character and appearance of the dwelling and the street scene through the combination of an extensive crown roof with over-sized dormer windows that would be visually dominant and sit awkwardly within the row of bungalows.
