Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposed slate roof material would cause significant harm to the special character and local distinctiveness of the area by eroding the arts and crafts character established by traditional brown roof tiles, and this harm was not outweighed by the modest benefits of improved access and design interest.
