Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development, with particular regard to the limitation in Paragraph AA.1.(i) of Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO
  • If the proposal is permitted development subject to prior approval, whether prior approval should be granted under Article 3(1) and Schedule 2, Part 1, Class AA of the GPDO, having particular regard to the effect of the proposed development on the external appearance of the building

What decided it

The proposal would reflect the individuality of the host dwelling's design and architectural features with sufficient unity between existing and proposed elements, and would be satisfactorily absorbed within its verdant surroundings, therefore prior approval should be granted.
