Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • 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 and its surroundings

What decided it

The proposed upward extension would not harm the external appearance of the building or surrounding area, as the design would be consistent with existing features and the property would continue to relate well to its neighbouring dwellings despite its increased height.
