Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the conditions are necessary and reasonable to ensure there is no adverse effect on the character and appearance of the surroundings on Philip Gardens
What decided it
The presence of existing timber close-boarded fences in visible locations on the estate demonstrated that such fencing was compatible with the character of Philip Gardens, making the original condition requiring a brick wall unnecessary, provided soft landscaping was added to soften the appearance.
