Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the site and its surroundings
  • Living conditions, with particular regard to the provision of external space

What decided it

The proposal could be designed as a bungalow that maintains the existing character of the street scene and would not be a prominent or incongruous overdevelopment, while providing suitable living conditions for future occupiers without unacceptably affecting existing occupiers.

There are no material considerations that indicate the appeal should be determined other than in accordance with the development plan.
