Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether the disputed condition is reasonable and necessary in the interests of the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The increased use of render to the front elevation would result in an unacceptable degree of discordance within the street scene due to the property's prominent location, the scale and vertical emphasis of the extension, and the contrast with prevailing materials in the area, conflicting with Policy CG3 and Policy POA5 of the development plan.
