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.
