Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area, and the natural beauty of the Broads

What decided it

The host property's already heavily altered external appearance and the variance in dwelling characteristics in the locality mean the proposed cladding would not cause harm to character or appearance or diminish the natural beauty of the Broads.
