(ii)in the case of a building which at the time of the application failed to conform to the building standards regulations, that as a direct result of the extension or, as the case may be, the alteration, the building as extended or altered will fail to conform to the said regulations to a greater degree than that to which it failed to conform at the time of the application.”
