8 Abbey Road Gillingham ME8 6AP
Variation of condition 2, and 3 on MC/22/1567 /Appeal Ref: APP/A2280/D/22/3305549 for the uPVC panel to the flank elevation adjoining the attached neighbour constructed in facing brickwork to comply with Part B4 of the Building Regulations, as this elevation sits on the boundary and requires 60 minutes fire resistance. The brickwork matches the existing dwellinghouse rather than the uPVC-clad outbuilding, therefore conditions 2 and 3 both require variation.
