Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the building
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including matters of overlooking, privacy and the loss of light
What decided it
The proposal would cause unacceptable harm to the external appearance of the building through disproportionate massing and loss of design subservience, and would result in significant loss of privacy for the existing penthouse flat occupants.
The main issues and the deciding factor are read from the published letter by Town Planner Pro; the letter itself is the record. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Research, not advice.
