Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • the effect of the development upon the character and appearance of the streetscene and surrounding area
  • highway safety
  • the health of trees of special amenity value

What decided it

The significant harm to character and appearance caused by the incongruous enclosing boundary treatment at a prominent corner plot, combined with unresolved highway safety concerns and potential impact on protected trees, outweighs the benefits of privacy and security.
