Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

What decided it
The replacement concrete tiles harm the character and appearance of the conservation area by introducing a coarser, more uniform appearance that conflicts with the finely detailed Arts and Crafts style and the heritage significance of the roofscape, with no public benefits identified to outweigh this less than substantial harm.

- Development plan policies
- Policy NH9Policy NH12
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 205Paragraph 208
