Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

  • whether the development preserves or enhances the character or appearance of the Harthill Conservation Area
  • if there is any harm identified, whether such harm is outweighed by the personal circumstances put forward by the appellant

What decided it

The modern appearance and incongruous design of the wrought iron fence with oak composite cladding unduly erodes the character and appearance of the conservation area, and the appellant's personal circumstances do not outweigh this identified harm.
