Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal would be permitted development under Schedule 2, Part 20, Class A of the GPDO
  • If so, whether prior approval should be granted, having regard to the matters set out in Paragraph A.2(1) of Part 20, Class A of the GPDO

What decided it

The proposal includes infilling of part of the 4th floor which does not extend above the existing topmost residential storey, thereby failing to meet the requirement that development must solely entail construction of additional storeys immediately above the existing topmost residential storey.
