Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the impact on the occupiers of neighbouring premises, principally through a loss of outlook and creating a sense of enclosure
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the building
What decided it
The proposal would fail to meet the conditions set out in paragraph A.2 of the GPDO by adversely affecting the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers and causing unacceptable harm to the appearance of the building.
