Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • The effect of the development on the character and appearance of the area

What decided it

The wall's scale, substance, traditional detailing and landscape setting mean it does not appear incongruous in the rural setting, and the fallback position of a lower permitted development wall supports the acceptability of the development.
