Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted when the proposed development is assessed against condition AA.2.(3)(a)(ii) of the Order, having regard to the external appearance of the building

What decided it

The proposed additional storey would break the uniform roofline of the terrace and create a disruptive, tower-like appearance that would significantly harm the homogenous character and appearance of the area, failing to comply with condition AA.2.(3)(a)(ii) of Class AA.
