Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The boundary wall's crude construction, substantial height, and prominent corner position create a dominant and incongruous feature that fails to preserve the character and appearance of the area and conflicts with development plan policies requiring high quality design.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- Policy CS03 of the Core Strategy (July 2014)saved Policy PS10 of the City of Leicester Local Plan (January 2006)
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.
