Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the building
What decided it
The additional height and bulk of the proposed extension would make the building overly prominent and incongruous in its immediate setting, failing to comply with the external appearance condition of the permitted development right.
