Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would be permitted development pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA (3)(a)(ii)(i) of the GPDO, with reference to the effect of the proposal on the amenity of the adjoining dwelling 93A Sea Front with regard to sunlight and outlook
What decided it
The specific orientation and proximity between Larkrise and 93A Sea Front means the additional storey would unacceptably block significant morning sunlight and diminish outlook, failing to meet the prior approval requirements under the GPDO.
