Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The tall fence closes off the side garden of a corner property and removes an important design feature of openness that characterises Cromwell Road, constituting poor design that harms the character and appearance of the area contrary to the development plan.
