Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted with regard to Part 20, Class AA paragraph AA.2(1)(e) relating to the external appearance of the building
- Whether prior approval should be granted with regard to Part 20, Class AA paragraph AA.2(1)(g) relating to the amenity of neighbouring residents, with particular regard to loss of light
- Whether the development meets the nationally described space standards
What decided it
The proposal failed to satisfy the prior approval criteria on three independent grounds: unacceptable external appearance causing harm to the building and conservation area setting, harmful loss of light to neighbouring residents, and non-compliance with nationally described space standards.
