Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by the GPDO with regard to the requirements of paragraphs A.2(1)(e) and (g) relating to the external appearance of the building and the impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including overlooking, privacy and the loss of light

What decided it

The development would result in significant harm to the living conditions of occupants of the neighbouring property at 16 Alexandra Grove through loss of outlook and privacy, contrary to the requirements of the GPDO prior approval provisions.
