Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal constitutes permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO
- If it does, whether prior approval should be given, having regard to the amenity of any adjoining premises, in particular 1 Linley Crescent, and the resulting external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The proposal fails to demonstrate compliance with the floor to ceiling height limitation under Class AA of the GPDO, and additionally would cause unacceptable harm to neighbouring amenity and external appearance contrary to prior approval requirements.
