APPRAISAL
The property lies within the residential area of North Walsham fronting onto Bacton
Road. The property is a bungalow built of red brick with white PVCu windows and
doors and a clay pantile roof.
The proposal is for a single pitched roof porch extending from the existing main door
on the front (east) elevation. The roof would have gallows brackets to the front and
use matching red clay pantiles. The walls would be red facing brick to match the
main dwelling and white PVCu door and window.
It is considered that the proposal is acceptable in design terms and would have no
detrimental impact on either the street scene or any neighbour.
RECOMMENDATION:Approval, subject to the imposition of appropriate conditions.
