Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the front door and the garage doors on the character and appearance of the host property and the area, including whether they preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Sudbury Court Conservation Area
What decided it
The uPVC doors matched the approved replacement windows, reflected the style of the original doors they replaced, and did not stand out as incongruous in the streetscene despite the conservation area's preference for timber.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy BHC1
