AN appeal has been lodged after civic chiefs rejected the latest application to upgrade a bungalow.
New Forest District Council refused to support a new proposal to alter the roof of a property at Pegasus Avenue in Hordle.
A report to councillors said: "This application follows a previously refused scheme which was dismissed on appeal.
"The proposal would extend the volume of the roof to provide three bedrooms, a bathroom and en-suite facilities in the newly created first floor.
"Whilst some improvements have been made to the former proposal it is considered that any increase in the height of the roof would be detrimental to the street scene."
The applicants are hoping a government-appointed planning inspector will quash the council's decision.
