Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the effect of the proposed development on the external appearance of the building
- Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to highway and pedestrian safety
What decided it
The proposed development would have a detrimental effect on the external appearance of the building by introducing a fourth storey that would be visually obtrusive, incongruous and inconsistent with the immediate streetscene and the harmonious group of mansion blocks.
