Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development is permitted development under the terms of the GPDO (Appeal A only)
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal building and the surrounding area having particular regard to the setting of nearby heritage assets
- The effect of the proposed development on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises, including overlooking, privacy, and the loss of light
- The effect of the proposed development on transport and highways in the vicinity of the appeal site
What decided it
Appeal A fails because the proposed development would not be permitted development under the GPDO as part of the extension would be over a lower-height side addition; Appeal B fails because the proposed development would cause harm to character and appearance and the setting of a non-designated heritage asset, failing to meet the prior approval requirements for external appearance.
