Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the porch on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Bungalow Estate Conservation Area (BECA)
What decided it
The porch does not appear harmful or out of keeping along this particular stretch of Levett Gardens where projecting porches of varying sizes now form part of the street scene, and therefore has a neutral effect on the character and appearance of the conservation area.
