Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of varying condition No 1 on the character and appearance of the host building and the local area bearing in mind the extent to which it would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the Blackstone Conservation Area
What decided it
The cementitious cladding boards have a manufactured and uniform appearance that is noticeably discordant with the traditional timber cladding in the surrounding conservation area, causing less than substantial but considerable harm to the character and appearance of the Blackstone Conservation Area that is not outweighed by unsubstantiated public benefits.
