Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- whether prior approval should be given, having particular regard to the resulting external appearance of the building
- whether the proposal complies with nationally described space standards
What decided it
The proposal failed both the external appearance requirement under the GDPO due to its incongruous mansard design at a prominent junction location, and the nationally described space standards requirement for one of the proposed flats.
