Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposed development would be granted planning permission by Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the GPDO with specific regard as to whether the building is a purpose-built, detached block of flats
- Whether the external appearance of the building would be acceptable under A.2 Conditions
What decided it
The external appearance of the proposed mansard roof extension would be unacceptable as it would appear top-heavy and incongruous, considerably intensifying the building's prominence and causing less than substantial harm to the setting of nearby listed buildings without offsetting public benefits.
