Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether prior approval should be granted pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO with reference to the impact of the development on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
- whether prior approval should be granted pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO with reference to the management of the construction of the development
What decided it
The additional storey would appear harmful and incongruous within the uniform group of single storey properties, disrupting the deliberately planned consistency of roof heights and creating imposing featureless facades that would be unattractive in architectural terms.
