Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether prior approval should be granted having regard to impacts on the amenity of any adjoining premises
  • whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse

What decided it

The proposed upwards extension would substantially increase the height of the dwelling to such an extent that its external appearance would be significantly and harmfully incongruous with its original appearance, neighbouring properties and the wider area, particularly given the corner location and prominence of the site.
