Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to any effects on the external appearance of the dwelling and amenity of adjoining premises
What decided it
The unacceptable effect on the external appearance of the dwelling and local character, which required refusal of prior approval under Class AA paragraph AA.2(3)(a), outweighed the acceptable amenity impacts.
