Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the building
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to impact on the amenity of the existing building and neighbouring premises including overlooking, privacy and the loss of light
What decided it
The height, bulk, scale and massing of the proposal would represent a disproportionate and incongruous development that would adversely affect the external appearance of the building and the character and appearance of the area, conflicting with Policy DM9 and the Framework.
Framework references: 124
Plan policies cited: Policy DM9, Policy DM10
