Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development would amount to permitted development, having regard to the condition at paragraph AA.2(2)(b) of the Order
- If the appeal succeeds in relation to the first main issue, whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse and the impact on the amenity of any adjoining premises
What decided it
The proposed development includes windows in the side elevation of the additional storey, which fails to comply with the mandatory condition at paragraph AA.2(2)(b) of the Order and therefore falls outside the scope of permitted development.
