Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host dwelling and surrounding area, including the Area of Special Local Character (ASLC)

What decided it

The varied character of the surrounding area, demonstrated by existing examples of cladding on nearby properties and a broad palette of materials, means the dark grey cladding integrates satisfactorily and does not harm the character and appearance of the ASLC.
