Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Gunnersbury Park Conservation Area
What decided it
The widespread prevalence of white uPVC windows on Gunnersbury Avenue means they now appear as a dominant characteristic rather than an incongruous feature, and the grey render is compatible with other rendered elevations in the vicinity, with the colour contrast issue resolved by conditioning the frames to be painted white.
