Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted when the proposed development is assessed against condition AA.2(3)(a)(ii) of the GPDO in relation to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The proposed third storey would result in unacceptable impact on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse and surrounding area due to its incongruous height, scale and design in a predominantly two-storey residential context.
