Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted under Class AA of Part 1 of Schedule 2 of the GPDO, having particular regard to the effect of the external appearance of the dwellinghouse, including impact on neighbouring premises and the locality
What decided it
The proposed additional storey would appear out of keeping with and result in visual harm to both the building and locality due to its incongruous design, top-heavy appearance, and visual dominance in the street scene, failing to comply with the GPDO Class AA prior approval requirement for external appearance.
