The inspector dismissed the appeal because of the effect the bungalow it would have on the character and appearance of the area. The site at Otago Road is a parcel of land next to two new bungalows at 27 and 27A Drybread Road. Although changes were made to the design of Mr Fradley’s application, the inspector ruled that it would introduce “a tandem form of development to the front of No 27A Drybread Road”. That, he said, “would appear at odds with the prevailing pattern of linear development”. The original application was submitted to Fenland District Council in November 2019 and refused in May 2020.
