Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect on the character and appearance of the Charlton Marshall Conservation Area
What decided it
The siting of the dwelling well back on the site together with the substantial boundary wall would limit its visual impact, and the corrugated metal material, although not prevalent, can be found elsewhere in the Conservation Area and would add to the variety of built forms without detracting from the appearance of Gravel Lane.

- Development plan policies
- Policy 5Policy 24
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 130Paragraph 201Paragraph 206
