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
What decided it
The significant increase in height would create a vertical emphasis at odds with the horizontal form of the terrace and appear prominent and discordant at the end of the terrace, having an unacceptable and harmful effect on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse and surrounding area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS41
