Depends on what University you're applying to, some have strict rules but most don't mind.
Some may ask for higher grades - AAA for example.
But other than that, It shouldn't really make your application look worse.

Do you have evidence of this or is it just anecdotal?

The A2 grades don't worry me. It is just whether me resitting a year will affect my application

I have evidence.
Say, for example you were applying for Medicine at St George's, they do not accept Retakes at all..
They don't even allow you to retake an exam more than once.

The University of Liverpool expect their students to get a grade higher, for example, If you were to apply for Diagnostic Radiography there, their usual grade requirements would be BBB but if you're a re-take student, they ask for ABB - the A in a science subject.

Just make sure to read their entry requirements.
