Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
- the effect of the proposed development on the pupils and staff of the adjacent school having regard to matters of privacy
What decided it
The proposal's visually prominent location next to the highway boundary, projecting above the existing wall and creating an incongruous addition to the street scene, combined with its material harm to the privacy of adjacent school pupils and staff through increased overlooking.
