- O'Doherty A
Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO, having particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
- whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO, having particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the amenity of adjoining premises, in relation to loss of light
What decided it
The proposal would breach both the external appearance and amenity requirements of Class AA of the GPDO by appearing incongruous in the street scene and causing significant loss of sunlight to an adjoining habitable room.
