Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the flank screen wall to the roof terrace on the character and appearance of the Kingswood Residential Area of Special Character
The effect of the proposed wing walls to the front entrance on the character of the Kingswood Residential Area of Special Character and the Kingswood Warren Historic Garden area

What decided it

The presence of similar wing walls at neighbouring properties (Tall Trees and No. 66) and the Council's equivocal position on them made it inequitable to dismiss that part of the appeal, combined with the ability to protect trees and the rhododendron hedge through conditions.
