Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the development on the living conditions of neighbouring properties with particular regard to overbearing, privacy, and loss of light matters
What decided it
The proposal would result in unacceptable harm to the character and appearance of the street scene by introducing a visually incongruous two-storey dwelling of excessive height and scale that would jar with the uniform single-storey bungalow character of the immediate surroundings, and would also cause unacceptable harm to the living conditions of the neighbouring property through loss of light and overbearing impact.
