Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the external appearance of the building would be acceptable and prior approval granted
What decided it
The sheer size and design of the front and rear dormers with flat roofs would appear incongruous in relation to the intrinsic design of the dwelling's principal elevation and would detract from the building's external appearance, failing to satisfy the prior approval requirements for external appearance under Class AC of the GPDO.
