Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the proposal would satisfy condition AA.2(1)(e) of Schedule 2, Part 20, Class AA of the GPDO with reference to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the building
What decided it
The proposed two-storey extension would result in harmful visual impact on the external appearance of the building by creating an incongruous and overly prominent five-storey structure that would project above surrounding properties and be readily visible within the street scene, thereby failing to satisfy condition AA.2(1)(e) of the GPDO.
