Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the condition requiring the rear extension to be faced in brick matching the existing dwelling rather than the materials shown on the approved details is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The modest scale of the extension, its retiring position in views from public vantage points, and the existing variety of materials in the surrounding area meant that the use of cladding would not adversely affect character and appearance, rendering the condition unreasonable and unnecessary.
