Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse, including the design and architectural features of the principal elevation

What decided it

The proposed additional storey would create an unduly prominent and visually dominant addition that would result in significant harm to the appearance of the dwellinghouse and its contribution to the street scene, contrary to the Framework's requirement that upward extensions be consistent with the prevailing height and form of neighbouring properties.
