- The effect of the proposals, and in particular the change of materials from brick to render and the installation of roller shutters to each window, on the character and appearance of the property and the local area
What decided it
The change of materials to white render and installation of roller shutters seriously harm the character and appearance of the property and local area, conflicting with design policies that seek high standards respecting local context.
The objectives to improve energy efficiency do not outweigh the serious harm to the character and appearance of the house and local area.
