- Whether prior approval should be granted under Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO, having particular regard to the effect of the proposed development on the external appearance of the building
What decided it
The proposed additional storey would have a harmful effect on the external appearance of the building by disrupting the uniformity and coherent hierarchy of the terrace and locality, and therefore prior approval should not be granted under Class AA of the GPDO.
