Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by the GPDO with regard to the requirements of paragraphs A.2(1)(a), (e) and (g) relating to transport and highway impacts of the development, the external appearance of the building and the impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including overlooking and privacy
What decided it
The proposed development would unacceptably harm the external appearance of the host property by creating a top-heavy, disproportionate alteration, and would cause significant loss of privacy to neighbouring occupiers through overlooking of their gardens.
