Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the materials condition remains necessary, with regard to the character and appearance of the proposed development, and suitability of the materials used for both the brickwork and the roof
What decided it
The unexplained use of different darker bricks on the lower courses, creating a stark visual contrast not shown in approved plans and lacking justification, materially diminished the development's quality and ability to fit harmoniously with its surroundings, contrary to the development plan.
