- Inspector
- Preston C
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the dwellinghouse was constructed prior to 1st July 1948 such that the proposal would fail to comply with paragraph AA.1(c) of the Order
- Whether the proposed windows are in a side facing elevation of the dwellinghouse, such that the proposal would fail to comply with the condition at paragraph AA.2(2)(b) of the Order
- If the appeal succeeds in relation to main issues (i) and (ii), whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse and the impact on the amenity of neighbouring occupiers at Nos. 28 and 30 Heathfield Gardens
What decided it
The external appearance of the proposed additional storey would represent poor design and cause harm to the character and appearance of the area by creating a disproportionately tall structure with unbalanced proportions that would sit incongruously within the spacious metroland setting.
