PLANNERS who turned down a householder's bid to strip the roof of concrete tiles and replace them with stone slates have seen their decision overturned.
An appeal to a Government-appointed inspector over the change at Turnstone House, Greenhouse Lane, Painswick, was upheld.
It means plain concrete tiles can be removed from the Grade II listed stone property, and the roof can be re-covered with reconstituted stone slates.
Stroud District Council refused permission originally but planning inspector Jennifer Armstrong said she "did not consider that the replacement of concrete tiles with reconstituted slates would harm the building's significance or that its special architectural or historic interest and character would be materially affected."
