Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the host house and surrounding area

What decided it

The removal and replacement of the existing hedgerow with a 2m high brick and railing boundary wall would cause significant detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the surrounding area, conflicting with policy requirements for appropriate landscaping.

The benefits of garden enclosure for families with children and dogs were outweighed by the significant detrimental impact on character and appearance caused by the loss of the established hedgerow and its replacement with a hard, urban boundary wall.
