A PLANNING application to remove a caravan and replace it with a bungalow has been refused.

Owners of the Blue Moon caravan, on Green Lane, Hambledon, want to build the house on the same site after living in the mobile home for more than 30 years.

However, Winchester city councillors unanimously voted against due to the impact of the area as "the character of a mobile is fundamentally differently to that of a constructed house".
