The proposed development does not comply with Condition AA.2(1)(e) specified under Class AA of Part
20, of Schedule 2, of the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) (England)
Order 2015 (as amended) as the proposed external appearance of development, in terms of its
siting, scale, mass, architectural features and design, would be visually jarring with the host property
