Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) 2015 Order (as amended), having particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse and the area

What decided it

The proposal would cause significant harm to the external appearance of the terrace and area by creating an incongruous, bulky addition that would unbalance the uniform composition of the row and conflict with NPPF design quality requirements.

Framework references: 126, 130
