Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the building (AA.2(1)(e))
  • impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including overlooking, privacy and the loss of light (AA.2(1)(g))
  • transport and highways impacts of the development (AA.2(1)(a))

What decided it

The proposed development would be significantly taller and bulkier than the nearby predominantly two and three-storey buildings, appearing unduly obtrusive and out of keeping with the locality, combined with unacceptable impacts on neighbouring amenity and unresolved highway parking concerns.
