Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the Bromley Hayes and Keston Commons Conservation Area and the appeal building as a locally listed building
- the outlook from the adjoining commercial property at 13 Oakley Road
What decided it
The rear garden fence, although higher than 2m, is set well back on the plot in a relatively enclosed space with open trellis detailing that mitigates visual impact, and therefore preserves the character and appearance of the conservation area and does not unacceptably harm the outlook from the adjoining commercial property.
