Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect that the proposed development would have on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The mixed character and variety of materials, styles and roof forms already present in the locality meant the proposed contemporary design with cedar cladding and flat roof would not stand out as discordant or materially harmful to character and appearance.
