Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed second floor extension is permitted by Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO, having regard to the amenity of adjoining occupiers and the external appearance of the dwelling
What decided it
The proposed second floor extension would unacceptably harm the outlook and amenity of the neighbouring occupiers at No 39 Penmere Drive by restricting views from their front-facing windows, thereby failing to comply with the amenity requirements of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO.
