Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be given, having particular regard to the resulting external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The proposed additional storey would result in unacceptable external appearance that fails to integrate within the surrounding context and would appear unduly dominant and incongruous against the predominant single-storey character of Broad Rig Avenue.
