Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse

The significant increase in height, massing and bulk of the dwelling would result in unacceptable harm to the prevailing character and appearance of Lynch Close by being visually dominant and at odds with the surrounding single storey bungalows.
