Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted with regard to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The isolated projection of the additional storey above the current height of the terrace would create an incongruous and disproportionate addition that causes significant harm to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse, failing to comply with paragraph AA.2(3)(a)(ii) of the GPDO.
