Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the Forticrete masonry finish on No 21 Ellerker Gardens as a non-designated heritage asset, and whether the development, as constructed, would preserve or enhance the character and appearance of the St Matthius Conservation Area and avoid harm to its significance.

What decided it

The rear elevations and ground floor extensions make only a limited contribution to the special interest and significance of the conservation area as they are not widely visible from public vantage points, and the Forticrete finish would not harm the character and appearance of the area when viewed from private gardens amongst existing contrasting projections.
