Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • Whether or not the relocated rear garden wall of the dwelling would have an unacceptably detrimental effect on the street scene and those using the adjoining public footway

What decided it

The incorporation of the narrow landscaped strip into the private garden of No. 17 would acceptably offset the loss of public benefit, and comparable examples in the locality demonstrated that high walls directly alongside footways cause minimal material harm to character and amenity.
