Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- Whether the information submitted pursuant of conditions 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 10 would be adequate to agree the details reserved by the conditions
What decided it
The absence of ground level and height details for the stone walls and the unacceptably overbearing design of the close board fencing meant condition 7 could not be adequately approved as it would conflict with Policy PD1's requirement to contribute positively to the area's character and appearance.
