Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the existing and proposed development on the character and appearance of the area
  • The effect of the existing and proposed development on the living conditions of the occupiers at No 50
  • The effect of the existing and proposed development on the safety of highway users on Park Avenue

What decided it

The proposed 1.8 metre high brick wall to the front of the side boundary would significantly harm the character and appearance of the area by standing out as a harsh and incongruous feature that jars with Park Avenue's generally open and landscaped character, conflicting with Policy 37 of the Bromley Local Plan 2019.

Plan policies cited: Policy 37, Policy 32
