External materials shall otherwise match as closely as possible, in type, colour and texture those listed in the 'Materials' section of the application form and indicated on the approved plans numbered '25-1747-PL01 Rev B'. Reason: To ensure a satisfactory visual relationship of the new development to the existing.
