Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The 1.8 metre high fence with substantial length and solid appearance on a prominent corner plot would be an obtrusive feature that would harmfully erode the open character and appearance of the street.
The benefits of privacy and removal of an unstable wall did not outweigh the identified harm to the character and appearance of the area.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DS1DS5CS5
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
