Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether prior approval should be granted for the proposed development when regard is paid to the requirements of Part 20, Class A paragraph AB.2(1)(e) relating to external appearance
- whether prior approval should be granted for the proposed development when regard is paid to the requirements of Part 20, Class A paragraph AB.2(1)(g) relating to impact on the amenity of neighbouring premises
- whether the proposal would accord with the limitation at AB.1(k) in relation to engineering operations
What decided it
The harmful effect on external appearance resulting from the proposal's visual relationship with the locally listed mosque and the diminished ability to appreciate the mosque's prominent dome as a focal point in the street scene.
