Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the surroundings on Lukins Drive
What decided it
The positioning, height and materials of the fenced enclosure would have an unacceptable impact on the established character and appearance of Lukins Drive, and this harm could not be outweighed by the appellant's objective to secure a safe garden environment.
The sustainable and effective use of the dwelling to create a bin enclosure outside of the rear garden area would not outweigh the harm to the character and appearance of Lukins Drive.
