18 The Grove Upminster RM14 2ER

Description

The proposed amendment relates to the external cladding of the approved outbuilding. The approved plans specify black painted timber cladding. It is proposed to substitute this with a dark, muted reddish-brown fibre cement cladding (Hardie Plank 'Traditional Red' or similar). The proposed material is similar in appearance, profile and scale of the approved cladding, with the primary difference being the colour and material type. The proposed colour is a dark, muted tone that is consistent with the existing boundary fencing surrounding the site. There are no changes to the size, height, footprint, position, design or use of the building. The amendment relates solely to external appearance and does not result in any material change to the overall visual impact or planning considerations of the approved development.
