Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether the proposed additional storey is permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA (i) of the GPDO
- if the proposal is permitted development under the GPDO, whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to the amenity of any adjoining premises and the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The side extension, being of equal height to the original dwellinghouse, qualifies as part of the principal part of the dwellinghouse, making the proposal eligible permitted development, and the design and scale would not harm amenity or street scene.
