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 additional storey would unbalance the existing symmetry of the terrace and create an anomalous, overly prominent property that would be harmful to the external appearance of the dwelling and the character and appearance of the area.
