Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area
- Whether the requirements of the enforcement notice are excessive to achieve the purpose(s) of the notice
What decided it
The cladding's use of a modern composite material fundamentally conflicts with the traditional character of the host property and surrounding area, whereas the extension and canopy employ traditional materials and design that are compatible with the area's character.
