Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the revised materials upon the cultural heritage of the Broads and the significance of the non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The change to the host dwelling's roof from thatch to tiles meant that a thatched roof on the extension would appear incongruous and provide no meaningful contribution to demonstrating the cultural heritage of the Broads, whereas a tiled roof would maintain coherence with the existing dwelling.

- Paragraph 130Paragraph 135Paragraph 203
