Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal site and its surroundings
What decided it
The proposed boundary treatment, although taller than adjacent frontage treatments, would not appear discordant or unduly dominant in its wider context because it encloses a side and rear garden in a distinct location with a design that breaks up massing and would be seen in a different, wider context than front garden enclosures.
The benefits of providing appropriate boundary treatment to enclose a private side and rear garden outweighed any concerns about height relative to adjacent frontage treatments, given the distinct location, design, and context of the proposal.
