Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Pudsey Conservation Area

What decided it

The fence's height, solid nature, and prominence create a visually discordant form of development that fails to preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Pudsey Conservation Area, and the private benefits of safety and security do not outweigh this harm.

What the Inspector cited

Development plan policies: Policy P10Policy P11Policy N19Policy N25Policy BD6Policy BC7Policy GP5Policy HDG1

How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
