Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Appeal A: whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
- Appeal B: the effect of the development on the character and appearance of the appeal property and the surrounding area and the extent to which it preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Leamington Spa Conservation Area
What decided it
Appeal A: the express prohibition in the GPDO against cladding (including render) of dwellinghouses in conservation areas. Appeal B: the composite cladding preserves the character and appearance of the conservation area and does not conflict with development plan policies BE1, HE1 and RLS3.
Plan policies cited: Policy BE1, Policy BE3, Policy HE1, Policy RLS3
