Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the proposal would be permitted development pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO, with reference to the impact of the development on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
  • whether the proposal would be permitted development pursuant to Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO, with reference to the effect of the proposal on the amenity of adjoining premises with regard to privacy and light

What decided it

The proposal would not constitute permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO because the addition of a storey would harmfully affect the external appearance of the dwellinghouse by unbalancing the semi-detached unit and appearing incongruously taller than its attached neighbour.
