Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the enclosure on the character and appearance of the area, including whether it would preserve or enhance the Granby Conservation Area
- If the proposal would cause harm to the character and appearance of the area and the Conservation Area, whether that harm is outweighed by other considerations to an extent that planning permission should be granted for the development
What decided it
The realistic prospect of a more harmful alternative boundary treatment (a 2m-high fence set within the garden) being erected as a fall-back position attracted very significant weight that outweighed the less than substantial harm to the conservation area caused by the existing wall.
