Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO, having particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
  • Whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO, having particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the amenity of adjoining premises, in relation to outlook, privacy and light

What decided it

The proposal would have an unacceptable and harmful effect on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse by appearing incongruous and discordant with the prevailing two-storey scale and stepped roofscape of the surrounding streets, in conflict with paragraph AA.2(3)(a)(ii) of the GPDO.
