Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The impact of the render and stonework on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and of the area

What decided it

The property's separation from the main road, combined with the presence of other rendered and stonework examples in the area, means the works do not significantly harm character and appearance and are not uncharacteristic of the locality.

Plan policies cited: Policy 41, Policy 44, Policy S1
