Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the timber cladding on the character and appearance of the area, with specific regard to the Kingston Hill/Coombe Hill Strategic Area of Special Character (SASC), which is a non-designated heritage asset
What decided it
The timber cladding would integrate well with the diverse range of modern materials already present in the area and would not detract from the character of the Strategic Area of Special Character, which is primarily defined by Victorian mansions rather than the simple design of the appeal property.
