Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area

What decided it

The grey UPVC composite cladding has a harsh, stark appearance lacking texture and is visually incongruous with the host property's materials and character, causing harmful effect on the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.

The absence of harm to the living conditions of neighbouring residents does not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of the host property and surrounding area.
