Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the appeal scheme on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the appeal scheme on the living conditions of the occupants of Nos 40 and 44 Bullsmoor Way
- the effect of the appeal scheme on highway safety
What decided it
The harm to the character and appearance of the area caused by the height, materials and design of the boundary wall, which contrasts significantly with the low level boundary treatments characteristic of the street and creates an uncharacteristic sense of enclosure.
The harm to character and appearance outweighed the limited benefit arising from the provision of secure storage for cycling.
