  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and surrounding area

What decided it

The proposed brickwork finish, whilst contrasting with the existing pebbledash, is not materially harmful to the character and appearance of the dwelling or surrounding area given the eclectic mix of materials in the locality and the modest, set-back position of the porch.
