Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether prior approval should be granted with regard to the adequacy of services and the sustainability of a key shopping area
  • whether prior approval should be granted with regard to the design or external appearance of the building
  • whether prior approval should be granted with regard to the provision of adequate natural light in all habitable rooms

What decided it

The proposal failed to comply with three separate conditions required for prior approval under Class M of the GPDO: the loss of the shop would have an unwarranted negative impact on the sustainability of the key shopping area; the design and external appearance would be unacceptable and significantly harm the character of the area; and the basement room would not receive adequate natural light for habitable use.
