Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the proposal falls within the scope of an application made under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990

What decided it

The proposed mansard roof would visually read as a fourth storey and therefore conflict with the approved description of a 'three storey rear building', which cannot be varied under section 73 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990.
