Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

Whether the front boundary wall with metal panels and gates is contrary to the character and appearance of the area and whether it should be removed entirely or replaced with a lower structure

What decided it

The existing 2m wall is out of character with the area, but complete removal is excessive; replacement with Option 04 (1m boundary treatment with brick pillars) is a reasonable requirement that balances the need to reduce the fortress-like appearance with permitted development rights.

The fortress-like appearance of the 2m wall and metal panels is out of character with the area and unsettling, but this harm is addressed by requiring replacement with a lower, more visually appropriate boundary treatment rather than complete removal.
