Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect that varying the condition to permit uPVC windows and doors rather than painted timber would have on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area

- Development plan policies
- Policy F2 of the Berwick upon Tweed Borough Local Plan (1999)
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
