Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether prior approval should be granted having regard to the requirements of Part 20, Class AA paragraphs AA.2 (1)(e) relating to the effect of the proposal on the external appearance of the building

What decided it

The proposed additional storey would make the building appear considerably taller than neighbouring properties and create an unduly prominent and incongruous addition that would harmfully contrast with adjacent roof heights and fail to comply with the prior approval requirements for external appearance under paragraph AA.2 (1)(e) of the GPDO.
