Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed condition is necessary to protect the character and appearance of the surrounding area and to preserve the setting of the nearby Grade I listed Church of All Saints and the setting of the Mattersey Conservation Area

What decided it

The garage doors would not be visually prominent in views from Retford Road and any difference between composite and timber construction would not be readily discernible, therefore the requirement for timber doors was not necessary to protect the heritage assets or character of the area.
