Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The additional storey would appear harmful and incongruous by disrupting the consistent roof height of the planned estate and creating an imposing façade at a prominent location, contrary to the external appearance requirements of the prior approval regime.

- Development plan policies
- Policy D4 of the London Plan 2021Policy SP11 of the Haringey Local Plan 2013Policy DM1 of the Development Management DPD 2017Policy DM12 of the Development Management DPD 2017
