Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether prior approval should be granted for the external appearance of the dwellinghouse, including the design and architectural features of the principal elevation and any side elevation fronting a highway
What decided it
The third storey would unbalance the symmetry of the dwellings and create a dominant, alien feature that would negatively interrupt the consistency of the street scene, contrary to the prior approval requirements for design and architectural features.
