Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the proposal would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A and A.1 of the GPDO
  • If permitted development, whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the building
  • If permitted development, whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the amenity impacts of the development on existing and neighbouring premises, with particular regard to light, privacy and outlook
  • If permitted development, whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the transport and highways impacts of the development having particular regard to local parking conditions

What decided it

The proposal would fail to comply with Condition A.2.(1)(e) of Class A, Part 20 of the GPDO due to unacceptable impact on the external appearance of the building and its harmful effect on the setting and significance of the adjacent conservation area.
