Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area, including the Canon Park Conservation Area

What decided it

The scale, siting and design of the proposed boundary wall and driveway works would result in an incongruous and out-of-keeping addition that would adversely harm the character and appearance of the conservation area, with insufficient public benefit to offset this less-than-substantial harm.

The less-than-substantial harm to the character and appearance of the conservation area and its setting was weighed against the private benefits to the appellant's family accessibility needs and the scheme's design quality, with the harm outweighing the benefits.
