Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal amounts to permitted development under Class AA of the GPDO, with particular reference to the limitations at AA.1.(i) and AA.1.(k)
- If permitted development, whether prior approval should be given having regard to the resulting external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The rear extension has a lower ridge line than the principal part of the dwellinghouse, and therefore the proposal to construct an additional storey above it breaches the AA.1.(i) limitation that restricts additional storeys to the principal part only.
