Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the erection of front gate and boundary wall would preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Stanmore Hill Conservation Area
What decided it
The combination of the tall brick pillars, metal railings and large metal front gate would harm the open, green and informal character of the Stanmore Hill Conservation Area, and the limited public benefit of security for a single property could not outweigh this less than substantial harm to the designated heritage asset.
The less than substantial harm to the character and appearance of the Stanmore Hill Conservation Area was weighed against the public benefit of increased security for the occupants of the dwelling; the harm outweighed the benefit.
