Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal's walling materials on the character and appearance of the area, giving special regard to the location of the site within the Chilterns National Landscape
What decided it
The proposed white render cladding would be a marked and visually conspicuous change to the prevailing brick character of Widmore Close, eroding its unity and distinctive identity, and this harm to local character and appearance cannot be outweighed by limited energy efficiency benefits.
