Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed rendering and cladding on the character and appearance of the host property and the surrounding area
What decided it
The presence of render already within the street scene and the comparison to the previously approved Certificate of Lawfulness for painting meant the proposed rendering and cladding would not unacceptably alter the property's appearance or local character.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy 40 (High Quality Design) of The Borough of Redditch Local Plan No. 4
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
