Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposals would constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO, with particular reference to the floor to ceiling height of the additional storey
  • whether prior approval should be granted with reference to the living conditions of neighbouring occupiers of The Sycamores with particular regard to natural light and outlook
  • whether prior approval should be granted with reference to the character and appearance of the dwelling and the area

What decided it

The proposal met the permitted development criteria under Class AA of the GPDO and prior approval should be granted as it would not cause significant harm to neighbouring living conditions or the character and appearance of the area.

Framework references: 125
