Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the St Peter's Square Conservation Area
  • The living conditions of the occupants of 58 Black Lion Lane, having particular regard to privacy, and those of the occupants of 22-24 St Peter's Grove, having particular regard to outlook and sunlight

What decided it

The trellis causes demonstrable and significant harm to both the character and appearance of the conservation area and the living conditions of neighbouring occupants, which cannot be justified despite the appellant's understandable reasons for erecting it.
