Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development complies with the conditions, limitations or restrictions applicable to development permitted, with particular regard to condition AA.2.(2)(c) of the GPDO, namely whether the roof pitch of the principal part of the dwellinghouse following the development would be the same as the roof pitch of the existing dwellinghouse
- The effect of the development on the amenity of neighbouring occupiers at Bottle Cottage, with particular regard to visual impact and privacy
- The effect of the development on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse, with particular regard to the streetscene and setting of the neighbouring Grade II listed building, Bottle Cottage
What decided it
The roof pitch of the principal part of the proposed extended dwellinghouse would be the same as the existing dwellinghouse, satisfying the GPDO condition, and the scheme would not cause harm to neighbouring amenity or the setting of the listed building.
