Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the local area
What decided it
The proposed cladding would substantially diminish the cohesive group value of the terrace by introducing the first material of its kind along the row, thereby causing significantly adverse visual effect on the character and appearance of the local area.
The benefits of improved thermal performance and practical material constraints were outweighed by the significantly adverse visual effect on the character and appearance of the local area and the loss of the terrace's cohesive group value.
