24 St. Marks Road, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 1LW

Planning appeal 3287192 at 24 St. Marks Road, Henley-on-Thames, RG9 1LW (South Oxfordshire District Council) was allowed on 22 February 2022 by Inspector Phillips B, by written representations. The main issue, as the Inspector framed it: The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the existing dwelling and the Henley-on-Thames St Marks Road Conservation Area.

Retrospective planning application for a low, front garden wall (two bricks high) that was removed prior to purchasing the property – date or removal unknown so I have guessed at the dates that the work took place
