Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- the effect of the proposal on the character and appearance of the area
What decided it
The proposal would harm the character and appearance of the area by introducing an unduly dominant, unbroken fence on a prominent corner plot that would reduce the openness of the street scene and conflict with the established pattern of set-back boundary treatments with intervening planting.
