Planning appeal 3282814 at 54 Moundfield Road, London, N16 6TB (London Borough of Hackney) was allowed on 5 April 2022 by Inspector Bowyer J, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: Whether the proposal would comply with the limitation at AC.1(g) of Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AC of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 regarding the maximum height increase of 3.5 metres relative to other buildings in the terrace.

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would comply with the limitation at AC.1(g) of Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AC of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England) Order 2015 regarding the maximum height increase of 3.5 metres relative to other buildings in the terrace
What decided it
The proposal complies with the AC.1(g) height limitation because when measured from ground level adjacent to each building, the height difference is unlikely to exceed 3.5 metres, and the adjoining building to the south already sits higher, meaning the development would not exceed the height of every other building in the terrace by more than 3.5 metres.
