Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the Council's decision to refuse to grant a certificate of lawful use or development was well-founded
What decided it
The zinc cladding proposed for both the rear extension and dormer was markedly different in colour and profile from the existing buff brick dwelling and therefore did not comply with the requirement for materials of similar appearance under the GPDO.
