Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the external appearance of the dwellinghouse and of the area
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the amenity of the adjoining premises at 4 Wyre Grove and 137 North Hyde Road, with particular regard to light levels, privacy and outlook
What decided it
The proposal satisfies both prior approval criteria under Class AA of the GPDO: the external appearance would be acceptable in context and the amenity of adjoining premises would be adequately protected through design measures and an imposed condition requiring obscure glazing.
