“Disappointed that the appeal was allowed. Agree that the combination of brick cladding with rendered elevations over are found in other parts of the Garden City ASLC and could be acceptable but the atypical strips of timber cladding are not appropriate on a building of this form and scale, especially as they are being used solely to divide up the upper part of the elevations rather than to suggest interior timber framing.”

“The extended property lends itself to an HMO The use of the property as an HMO has not been proposed and use of the building for this purpose would require planning permission. 5. The plans omit the single storey extension of which the foundations have been built The single storey extension has not been built and a condition removing permitted development rights is recommended to be imposed. 6. There are trees within the site which should be shown and considered.”
