Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the appeal development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The street-facing frontages of properties, rather than the rear passageways, are the key contributors to the area's character, and the modest enclosure of an overgrown passageway with inconspicuous timber fencing does not harm that character.

Development plan policies
Policy DES1
National Planning Policy Framework
Paragraph 124
