Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted, with particular regard to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the dwellinghouse
What decided it
The proposed mansard-roofed additional storey would be highly discordant to the host building and would result in a dominant appearance that fails to accord with objectives relating to character and appearance, particularly by losing the acceptable transition in height previously established.
