Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

- the effect of the proposed development on the living condition of the neighbouring occupiers at 95 Mannamead Road
What decided it
The proposed copper cladding would introduce an incongruous material that would fail to preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Mannamead Conservation Area and would cause significant harm to the outlook of neighbouring occupiers, with no public benefits to outweigh this harm.
