Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the local area
- The effect of the proposal on highway safety for users of Wrights Lane
What decided it
The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous, tall and formal fence in a street characterised by low-level informal boundaries, combined with the material harm to highway safety from obstructed visibility at the driveway access, outweighed the appellant's security and privacy concerns.
The benefits of improved privacy and security for the appellant were outweighed by the significant harm to character and appearance and the material harm to highway safety.
