Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the appeal scheme complies with the requirements of Class AA of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 with particular regards to the loss of light in respect of adjoining premises and the external appearance (principal elevation) of the dwelling house
What decided it
The appeal scheme fails to comply with the permitted development requirements due to both the harmful external appearance disproportionate to the adjoining dwellings and the absence of a comprehensive daylight assessment demonstrating no loss of light to neighbouring properties.
